Life In Balance
After 4 months of Public Engagement Activities, Boudreau Communities has worked diligently on the redesign of the Riverbank Landing site layout, both to incorporate community feedback and ensure it will be a landmark destination offering shops, restaurants, services and premium living options, all embracing nature.
On November 10, 2020, in a Zoom Webinar, we presented the most recent site layout for Riverbank Landing. If you were unable to attend or would like to have a second look at the presentation please follow the link below.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHARING THE NEW RIVERBANK LANDING SITE LAYOUT.
Two New Preliminary Design Options
Based on the feedback received so far from the first proposed design for Riverbank Landing, two preliminary design options have evolved and will be the starting point to gather opinions from St. Albertan’s regarding the redesign for Riverbank Landing. We’ve kept the best and changed the things we heard were concerning.
What’s Changed?
Building Heights
Building heights have been greatly reduced from 100 meters to a maximum of 50 meters.
Over All Density
The number of residential units has been reduce from 466 to a maximum ranging from 360 to 390 units. A reduction has also been made to the amount of commercial space.
Traffic
With the reduction in residential units and commercial space the traffic to and from Riverbank Landing will be reduced.
We’ve Kept the Best!!!
Access to Greenspaces and Outdoors
This beings with pocket parks and a village square connected by on site walking paths for all of St. Albert to enjoy. Boudreau Communities will work with the City and the Province and attempt to connect the Red Willow Trail System on the north side of the river and add a launching point or dock to the river.
The Comforts in Life
A signature destination restaurant is still a big a part of Riverbank Landing as well as cafés, gourmet shops and the boutique shopping experience. And to provide the supports we need in life professional, medical, health and spa service will still have a place to set up shop.
