Edmonton could see a new neighbourhood take shape within the Anthony Henday, with plans moving forward for a new development in the University of Alberta farm area.<\/p>\n

The City of Edmonton has received a revised proposal for a Neighbourhood Area Structure Plan, referred to as West 240 by applicant B&A Studios. The proposed development would be located between 112th Street NW and Whitemud Creek, bordered by Grandview Heights to the north and Lansdowne to the south.<\/p>\n

The proposed plan includes a mix of housing types, ranging from single detached homes to row housing and multi-unit buildings. Plans also include a mixed-use area that will provide access to services, amenities, and employment opportunities.<\/p>\n

An interconnected open space is also proposed, with parks and greenway connections throughout the community.<\/p>\n

The neighbourhood would also feature a mobility network supporting walking, cycling and driving, as well as a transit hub providing direct service to the South Campus\/Fort Edmonton Park LRT station and Transit Centre.<\/p>\n

Originally farmed in the early 1900s, the land the proposed neighbourhood sits on was annexed by the City in 1913 and later purchased by the University of Alberta in 1930. For decades, the lands supported the University\u2019s Agriculture and Farming faculty.<\/p>\n

West 240<\/p>\n

West 240 is billed as a modern community spanning 240 acres along Whitemud Creek, aimed at integrating urban living with natural surroundings and proximity to central Edmonton.<\/p>\n

The project is being advanced by the University of Alberta Properties Trust (UAPT)<\/a>, formed by the University of Alberta to develop or redevelop lands deemed by the University as not central to its academic mission of teaching and research.<\/p>\n

As part of the planning process, a Phase 2 in-person public engagement session is taking place on Thursday, April 9, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Alfred H. Savage Centre (13909 Fox Drive NW).<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s not uncommon to see a new neighbourhood appear on Edmonton\u2019s outskirts, it\u2019s not every day you see brand-new communities so close to the city\u2019s centre! But while it would be a prime location, it\u2019s still a ways to go before shovels get in the ground. Following next week\u2019s public engagement session, the project will have a public hearing to be scheduled at a later date.<\/p>\n
