Greenfields spruces up Vanastra
By Anne Narejko
VANASTRA - At one time, the barracks
which housed the officers here were kept in
tip-top shape. Once they were abandoned,
windows were broken, paint was peeling,
and they became anything but attractive.
But things are looking up for the former
air force base now.
Nine blocks are presently being renovated
by Sente Enterprises Inc. of. St. Catharines
and Wycom Mechanical Contractors Ltd. of
Concord. When completed, there will be 50
town houses in what has been named Green-
fields along with four play areas for
children.
John Hozack Jr. is looking after the pro-
ject for Sente Enterprises and says the com-
panies did not just jump into the project.
"We did some research on the availability
of rental units in the area before we started.
What we found was that this would be an
ideal place - the buildings were already
here," he said.
The research has proven accurate so far,
as 25 of the 50 available units are already
rented even though the entire project is not
scheduled for completion until November.
"We're swamped. I have some leases in
place two weeks before the unit l the people
want) is completed," said Mr. Hozack.
"We've advertised in the local papers and
the London Free Press and are getting four
or five calls per day. We even have people
renting from London who are commuting."
Approximately two years ago, another
company attempted to do what Mr.
Hozack's cohorts are doing now and went
bankrupt. The figure Mr. Hozack puts on
the construction work at Greenfields is over
$1.5 -million.
"We've spent $175,000 on windows and ex-
terior doors. The previous doors had snow
coming in the bottom of them," said Mr.
Hozack.
Most of the buildings have been gutted
and the electrical and plumbing work has
been replaced. In some units, trim has been
painted while it has been replaced in others.
The Greenfields' pamphlets boost three
bedrooms, spacious 1,200 square foot units,
new fridge and stove. new wall-to-wall
carpeting, new kitchens, new four piece
bath and all units feature basements with
coldcellars.
On the exterior, they are newly sided and
landscaping with grass and trees has been
provided.
Those working on the project have also
planned for four playground areas with the
creative playground equipment to he put in
place.

Hozack Jr. shows. (Anne Narejko photo)
The cost of landscaping alone are ex-
pected to amount to $85,000.
One aspect of this project which surprises
Mr. Hozack is the fact that there has been no
vandalism or theft.
"This is the only job that we haven't had
one single problem on," he said.
Mr. Hozack says the project co-ordinators
are contemplating a phase two once Green-
fields is complete.
"There are three buildings before Green-
fields that we think could be turned into

When asked why the name Greenfields
was chosen, Mr. Hozack explained that one
gentleman out looking at the project stated,
"You can't see anything but green fields"
surrounding the area t and thus became the
name.
But perhaps Greenfields' largest selling
point is its price - $325 per unit or, for an end
unit, $350.
