The abandoned building that was previously a KFC and Pizza Pizza has been demolished. The building has been abandoned and deteriorating for many years, leaving Aylmer residents wondering what was going to happen to the property.

Due to the deterioration, the building was no longer safe to restore and was deemed an eyesore. Residents have voiced that they are glad to see the building demolished but are anxious to see what will replace it. The lot is located at 195 rue Principale, which is prime real estate as it is in Aylmer’s downtown core.

Due to a by-law change in March, commercial buildings are no longer subject to the regulations for demolitions and do not need to be evaluated by the Demolition Applications Committee.

The property is owned by Rosdev, a Montreal-based development company.
