A new retirement home may be coming to Leslie Street soon.

Newmarket council granted site plan approval for a four-storey, 60-unit residential retirement building, in principle, during a meeting last week.

The building would be located at 17210 Leslie, at the southwest corner of Leslie and Lemar Road.

However, the applicant must address outstanding concerns over retaining walls, fencing, landscaping and garbage storage before the project can proceed.

If constructed as planned, the building will include a rooftop garden and 23-space parking lot.
