OSHAWA, ONT. – A new mixed-income development designed by Montgomery Sisam is on deck for Oshawa, Ont. with work underway.
The 160,000 square foot Christine Crescent redevelopment replaces 12 semi-detached homes with two buildings — four and six storeys tall, explains a release.
The project delivers 160 new mixed-income rental homes with a mix of one- to four-bedroom units all designed on a six-metre modular grid.
Structurally the buildings use pitched roofs, articulated façades and light materials to reduce perceived scale and integrate into the neighborhood, a release notes. A new public forecourt and landscaped courtyard connect directly to Chopin Park.
Residents will have access to lounges, party rooms, fitness facilities and rooftop amenities. Outdoors, a landscaped courtyard includes a community patio, picnic areas, an outdoor gym and direct park access.
Christine Crescent incorporates a low-embodied-carbon wood structure using dimensional lumber and glue-laminated columns and beams, the release adds.
The project will also feature a geothermal heat pump system and high-performance thermal envelope.
