By

Thursday, September 10, 2020. Activa Statement Regarding Avenue M Cancellation. “It is with sincere regret that we have announced the cancellation of our Avenue M condominium project. Current market conditions and the uncertainty of the pandemic have rendered the financing of this project unviable. Consequently, we are unable to move forward to construction. We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences this cancellation may have caused. All Avenue M Purchasers have been notified of this cancellation and have been fully reimbursed. At this time, the future of the site is being reviewed.”
Geoff McMurdo –Vice President, Business Development, Activa
