Our Project

Alps Road

Location: 32 Alps Road, Porters Lake
Total Units: 84

The 32 Alps Road – Diverse Communities Co-op is designed to advance equitable housing by ensuring 46% of total units are rented at below 80% of Median Market Rent (MMR). On average, designated affordable units are priced at less than 50% of MMR, exceeding affordability benchmarks and directly supporting lower-income households and vulnerable community members.

Monthly Affordable Rent Levels (anticipated):

• 26 One-Bedroom Units: $773/month

• 13 Two-Bedroom (Two-Storey) Units: $830/month

These rents are well below market averages, ensuring accessibility for lower- and moderate-income households while maintaining quality design and livable standards.

Accessibility & Energy Efficiency

This development integrates inclusive design and sustainability as core principles:

• Barrier-free common areas and over 31% of residential units are fully accessible, meeting or exceeding recognized accessibility standards.

• Designed to meet Tier 3 of the 2020 National Energy Code for Buildings (NECB), the project achieves high-performance energy efficiency, reducing long-term operating costs and environmental impact.

• At least a 50%+ reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions

Community Integration & Social Inclusion

Located off Highway 7 and Alps in Porters Lake, this lot has direct access to Highway 7, and is within walking distance of services and the core of Porters Lake.

This site promotes social connection and inclusivity through its thoughtful location and community-focused design. The site is within one kilometre of public transit, ensuring convenient and equitable access to essential services, employment, and amenities. The project fosters a sense of belonging and participation for residents of all backgrounds, reinforcing the principles of diverse, resilient, and inclusive communities.
