Bingham Crossing – Following are comments provided by Rencor Developments on the status of Bingham Crossing:
“We’re thrilled to share exciting updates on Bingham Crossing as we prepare to restart construction this spring. Since summer, our team has been focused on finalizing approvals, and with construction scheduled to resume in April, we’re eager to bring this vibrant project to life.
In preparation for Costco’s highly anticipated opening in Fall 2026, significant off-site improvements to the road network will be completed. These include 2 new high-speed ramps, one eastbound and one on the westbound on Highway 1 at Range Road 33, the widening of Range Road 33 and Township Road 250, and the addition of traffic circles to enhance traffic flow in the area.
On-site work will involve completing all underground services, constructing the private spine road serving Bingham Crossing, and developing various site features. Over the past several months, we’ve tendered both on-site and off-site work and are now in the process of awarding contracts to ensure we’re ready for the upcoming construction season.
We’re also finalizing approvals with the Province and County for all transportation improvements and are on track to begin work this spring.
Leasing for the surrounding retail buildings has begun, with tenant possession targeted for late 2026 to early 2027. We’re excited to announce high-quality retailers and amenities in the coming months as leases are finalized. Bingham Crossing is designed to complement the surrounding communities by offering a wide variety of shopping, services, and amenities.
While this process has taken longer than anticipated, we’re delighted to be moving forward with such an exciting project. We look forward to sharing more updates as construction progresses and can’t wait to welcome you to Bingham Crossing!”
