A new 91-unit rental home community has opened in Edmonton, Alberta.
The Parkside North Townhomes were built on the former military base Griesbach Barracks. The development was funded with $44.9 million provided by Canada’s federal government, Canada Lands and the City of Alberta. HomeEd, a nonprofit organization that provides affordable rental housing across Edmonton, developed the project and will operate it.
“Edmonton is proud to welcome the Parkside North Townhomes to Griesbach,” said Amarjeet Sohi, mayor of Edmonton. “Not only does this development get us closer to our shared vision for a more affordable and inclusive city, it is an exceptional achievement in building for a more environmentally responsible future. By treating affordable housing as essential infrastructure, we empower thousands of Edmontonians to build a better future for themselves and their families, and we make our community as a whole more resilient.”
