## Infrastructure and Service Context

Utilities Kingston has resumed the Portsmouth Pumping Station Flow Direction project, scheduled from 2024 to 2028. This major upgrade aims to improve system efficiency and reduce long-term energy consumption. The initiative redirects sewage to the Cataraqui Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant. Such infrastructure work supports the long-term sustainability of the neighbourhood's utility systems.

The City of Kingston launched a Community Improvement Plan offering property tax incentives for rental housing development. Applications are open through December 31, 2026, targeting new apartment buildings with at least seven units. This policy encourages increased residential supply within urban boundaries. While city-wide, such initiatives may influence future development patterns in areas like Portsmouth Village. Sources:

## City market context

From the Kingston market article, 22 September 2026:

Kingston's months of inventory hit 5.8 in August 2026, far exceeding the 3.6-month seasonal norm. Record new listings and rising mortgage rates are shifting leverage to buyers, though price declines remain modest so far. Kingston's housing market has shifted decisively toward buyer conditions, with months of inventory reaching 5.8 in August 2026, well above the 3.6-month long-run seasonal average. This imbalance, driven by record new listings and slowing sales, creates negotiating leverage for buyers and downward pressure on price growth.
