Great list of tenants, amazing sustainability targets, design a bit brutalist... although the townhouses look decent.

Station Pointe Greens (SPG), a 219 unit residential and commercial development in North East Edmonton represents a significant advancement in sustainable affordable high-rise living. Based on years of research and design development by a team of expert consultants, SPG is poised to become a leading edge multi-family residential development for North America incorporating a multitude of sustainability features including:

90% reduction in heating and cooling costs
Near net-zero design (net-zero ready)
100% self contained and user controlled heating/cooling and ventilation (hypo-allergenic design)
On-site waste-water processing and re-use for irrigation and water closets
Passive House design
Roof-top gardens and amenity space
Consisting of 4 connected towers, each with its own co-operative community, SPG will provide both affordable ownership and continuing cooperative home options in one of the most environmentally advanced and energy efficient multi-family developments in North America.

All units will have underground parking and secured bicycle storage. Plans include an on-site daycare, large community amenity space, and accessible rooftop lounge and gardens for residents to grow flowers and vegetables and enjoy year round.

The ground floor facing Fort Road will contain commercial spaces which will be designed to provide complementary goods and services to both the residents and community at large. SPG is ideally located just a 5 minute walk to the Belvedere LRT and bus hub.

Consisting of 4 connected towers, each with its own co-operative community, SPG provides both ownership and continuing cooperative home options within the cooperative community model.

Tower A (West corner) will consist of 25 apartments occupied by persons connected to the arts community and is sponsored by Artist Urban Village.
Tower B (mid-block) will consist of 45 apartments sponsored by CPA (Canadian Paraplegic Association) with 10 units targeted to persons in wheelchairs.
Tower C(North corner) will consist of 85 units sponsored by the University Housing Co-op, and is primarily targeted to students, staff and faculty of post-secondary institutions.
Tower D (North East side) will consist of 54 apartments and is being considered for development as a mature adult 55+ community, with apartments available for both regular and life-lease occupancy.
Townhouses (10) will face South East onto the inner street.

Here's a new Ottawa proposal called Hintonburg Station. The old school is being repurposed into a mid-rise luxury condo. A 19-storey condo and townhouses will also be built.
