Collingwood Shipyards named Best Large-Scale Project In Canada
Canadian Urban Institute gives award to FRAM Building Group at Vancouver ceremony
The Shipyards is designed to incorporate green space, walking and biking trails, and waterfront access on a rehabilitated industrial site.
After cleaning up the waterfront, the second piece of the puzzle was the berm – a seven acre green space that connects the residential development with the trail system and adjacent parkland. The berm features a natural amphitheatre that looks out over Georgian Bay and a winding trail that connects to the Georgian Trail.
The overall plan was to create waterfront access and parks along the majority of the shoreline. From the access point off Hurontario Street, there is a wide cement promenade along the breakwater, which eventually winds around to the west, where it turns into limestone nature trail that hikers can follow along the waterfront or climb the berm for an amazing view of the surrounding area.
Each year, the CUI’s Brownie Awards recognize leadership, innovation and environmental sustainability in brownfield redevelopment across Canada. The Shipyards was recognized for its commitment to environmental remediation, developing a clean site into a vibrant, mixed-use real estate project.
Developers FRAM Building Group and Slokker Real Estate used the former brownfield site to create a sustainable and integrated real estate community with access to both the Georgian Bay waterfront and downtown Collingwood. The project, which will feature approximately 600 apartment and townhome condominiums upon completion, has also established a public green space for local events with an open-air amphitheatre, a wetland and fish habitat and pedestrian and bike trails that connect to the Niagara Peninsula.
