The provincial government has broken ground on a project that will see 10 new micro homes built in the Buckmaster’s Circle neighbourhood of St. John’s.
Micro homes are smaller than traditional apartments, with the new builds being 500 square feet per unit.
The contract, worth nearly $1.7-million, has been awarded to Redwood Construction. It is being funded by the federal government.
They will construct two separate buildings on Army Street – one with six apartments and the other with four.
Two of the 10 homes will be fully accessible, and all will be built according to universal design.
