Fredericton (October 22, 2009) – Dr. Avi Friedman, co-founder of the Affordable Homes Programme at the McGill School of Architecture in Montreal, will unveil plans for a proposed new residential development in Southwood Park during a public meeting on Wednesday, October 28 at the Bliss Carman Middle School located at 615 Kimble Drive.
Dr. Friedman, whose consulting firm has already worked on several affordable housing projects in Fredericton, will present a series of options with different site plans and housing configurations for the 1.6-hectare property on Limerick Road.
The development features up to 107 units consisting of two-bedroom single family rowhouses, one and two-bedroom triplexes, and apartments. Approximately 20-25 per cent of the units provided for this development will be targeted for affordable housing.
