WESTMOUNT PLACE
Waterloo, ON

The Planning Partnership was retained by ABA Architects and Killam REIT to aid in the master planning process and develop the landscape design for a new residential community set to be built in Waterloo, Ontario. Consisting of 6 new mixed-use towers to be developed on a former strip-mall parking lot, TPP was instrumental in advocating for the creation of a new shared street lined with shops and amenities advancing and improving a previous plan suggesting surface parking lots.

Key features of the master planned site now include a linear park along the north side of the new street to harness sunlight in the pedestrian realm, new tiered parks and plazas providing access into the neighbourhood filled with patios, public art, play spaces, and an abundance of new trees breathing life into a former utilitarian parking lot.
