An enormous master-planned community called ERA is poised to transform downtown Maple Ridge, eventually becoming an amenity-rich neighbourhood with some 1,000 homes.
When complete, the project being established by Johnston Meier and SwissReal Developments will also include parks, amenities like an amphitheatre and retail and commercial units.The first phase includes 143 market condos and townhomes and 49 rental units.
Peter Hildebrand, principal at Iredale Architecture, says the city’s designation of the southeast corner of the site on the corner of Dewdney Trunk Road and 224 Street as the new civic centre of Maple Ridge is the impetus behind the seven-phase ERA development.
