The new building will retain the existing heritage building currently on site, integrating the two story façade and structure into the new development. Le Duke represents a new development pipeline property for Crombie; enhancing its existing development pipeline. Development of Le Duke commenced in late 2017 with completion estimated in 2020.

The second partnership results in PrinceDev becoming a 50% partner in Crombie's estimated $275 million Oakville, Bronte Village mixed use development which is being developed as a residential rental development, replacing the existing Bronte Village Mall with 480 units of refined rental living.
