COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION · BOWMANVILLE
Downtown infill in Bowmanville
Building a new commercial building on Bowmanville's main street means joining a row of older brick buildings. The new building should share their rhythm of windows, cornice lines and storefronts, while meeting today's codes for accessibility, energy and fire separation.
We work with your architect and the Municipality of Clarington to find that balance, then manage construction carefully beside neighbours that may be more than a century old.
-
01 / MAIN-STREET CHARACTER
Brick, arched windows and cornices that suit the block.
-
02 / NEIGHBOUR PROTECTION
Older walls and foundations protected during the work.
-
03 / MODERN INSIDE
Efficient systems and accessible layouts behind a traditional face.
-
04 / MUNICIPAL PERMITS
Site plan and permits with the Municipality of Clarington.

03 / IN FOCUSCOMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION · BOWMANVILLE
Upper floors that earn their keep
Offices or apartments above a downtown shop can add income and life to the street. Stairs, an elevator where needed, separate services and sound control are planned so the upper floors work as well as the storefront.

Working beside older buildings
Neighbouring buildings downtown may have shallow foundations, old masonry and shared roofs. Before excavation, we document their condition and plan shoring and protection with the engineers. During construction, the work is monitored so the older buildings next door are left as sound as they were.

Behind a traditional front
A new building that looks traditional from the street can be fully modern inside. Efficient heating and cooling, an accessible entrance, an elevator where needed and good daylight make the space appealing to today's tenants while the facade keeps the main street's character.

My project started before the pandemic. Work was about 30% complete and going well. The pandemic hit me a bit financially which stressed me out about the project. The Henley team helped reverse engineer and descope some of the project to suit my new affordability. They handled this with class and professionalism which im sure created extra work for them. Communication was excellent and finished product is fantastic. I will never work with or recommend another contractor again
