Description
- It is a waterfront mixed-use community
- The development would be one of the largest all-electric zero-carbon communities in Canada.
- Sustainable features include carbon-free heating systems, low-carbon construction materials, and a proposed mass timber residential building.
- The project would provide affordable housing units along the waterfront. There has been a focus on providing family-sized units (more than 2 bedrooms).
- The Parliament Slip is a former industrial harbor that is being revitalized to create public recreational areas.
- The quayside would be made into a significant cultural destination with arts venue, indigenous cultural spaces, and flexible education areas.
- There would be 3.5 acres of public space which includes a large community forest.
- The community forest would be car-free and barrier-free.
- A large urban farm is being planned on top of the timber residential buildings.
- A promenade has been planned at the water’s edge. It consists of a granite mosaic path lined with double rows of trees.
