This six-storey rental building includes:
81 units: mix of 1, 2, and 3 bedrooms
​
Affordable and market-rate housing, with over 30% planned as affordable
​
Ground-floor commercial space to serve residents and neighbours
​
The building is designed to target net zero energy on site manually
Site Layout & Land Use
The development is thoughtfully concentrated in the northwest corner of the 11-acre property.
This approach ensures:
Wetlands remain undisturbed
The majority of the natural landscape is maintained
The building sits naturally into the site's sloped topography
Landscaped buffers are proposed along Sackville Drive, Lumberman Drive, and Canting Drive to reduce visual impact and enhance privacy for surrounding homes.

This design significantly lowers the building's environmental footprint and reduces long-term operating costs.
The proposed building is designed as a net-zero energy building, meaning it will produce as much energy as it consumes using on-site PV solar panels.
