Parkway House project
The Parkway House project is in Lincoln Fields, a section of the Brittania Village neighbourhood, one of the city’s most demographically diverse communities. The three-building condo and rental project will replace and incorporate a space for Parkway House, a non-profit care facility for people with disabilities requiring around-the-clock care.
The project will be built in two phases, the first of which includes two buildings. “Doing it in phases allows us to keep the Parkway House organization on site and operational while we build the first phase. Once the first phase is built, they can move into it, and we can demolish their existing one-storey building and build the third building in the second phase,” Hussey says. Residents will benefit from the project’s proximity to the future Lincoln Fields LRT Station and nearby trails and cycling paths.
Nesting Ground retains long-term non-profit ownership of housing and partners with local community organizations to deliver affordable homes with appropriate supports.
The Parkway House project will be an intergenerational community, thanks to Nesting Ground’s partnership with Perley Health, which will provide support and services to seniors so they can live independently longer. “We also have a partnership with the Ottawa Aboriginal Coalition, a coalition of organizations that provide different services and supports to Indigenous residents, so the intention is to have a certain amount of units dedicated to Indigenous households,” says Hussey.
