Byron Villager December 2025

navigating various municipal approvals, we’re thrilled to begin construction and bring new shopping options to residents of southwest London and nearby communities like Byron,” says Paul Kitson, Planner and Developer at Westdell Development Corp. “This project has faced many challenges over the years, but we’ve remained committed to building our community through our live, work, play philosophy — with grocery-anchored retail, banks, convenience stores, and health-focused businesses that make everyday life more accessible.” Forest Edge Commons will feature more than 130,000 square feet of retail and residential space, with easy access to Highways 401 and 402, serving the growing southwest part of the city. Confirmed retailers include Bank of Montreal, Dollar Tree, and an international gourmet café, along with a pharmacy, yoga studio, dentist, nail salon, and animal hospital — creating a convenient one-stop destination for shopping, health, and everyday needs. info@gwbheating.ca HEATING • HYBRID • COOLING FIREPLACES • HOT WATER POOL HEATERS 519-857-7139 • gwbheating.ca For residents of Byron and the surrounding communities, this development means more choice and convenience close to home — and a sign of how quickly this part of London is continuing to grow.
