The long-awaited creation of a new neighbourhood at The Forks is now under construction.
Railside at The Forks will replace surface parking lots with a neighbourhood that includes mid-rise residential buildings and some “deeply affordable” units, a news release notes.
Building will continue through at least 2027 on 3.5 acres set for construction in Phase 1 of the project. That will include about 350 residential units within nine apartment blocks and one condominium building.
