Our Project Objectives

How are we measuring success?

Project objectives are what we use as the measuring stick to determine if we are successfully achieving what we set out to do. These are our preliminary project objectives:

• Develop new housing near the Weston GO/UP Express station

• Design a transit first development

• Design residential units to support a variety of demographic groups, including families

• Respond to the existing and planned built form context (existing and future buildings in the area)

• Create a range of commercial/retail opportunities along Weston Road

• Incorporate green and sustainable design features in the proposed building

• Enhance the public realm by establishing a ground floor animated by active uses and "eyes on the street" along Weston Road

• Create a respectful relationship with the adjacent tall buildings

• Contribute to widening the public right-of-way along Weston Road with enhanced and improved sidewalks

• Protect for smaller, flexible sized units that may be used for social enterprise/start-ups

• Protect for larger retail units that can accommodate grocery uses

Why preliminary and not final? We are still in the very early stages of the project, which includes bringing on technical team members who will assist in developing the concept design. As we explore different concept design approaches, we may realize that there are additional project objectives that should be included in our list. Also, community stakeholders may have additional project objectives – we would love to hear from you!

If you have any feedback on our preliminary project objectives, including any additional project objectives that we should add, please send us an email at 1830weston@castlepointnuma.com. You can also email us to join our mailing list to be among the first to receive an invitation to our forthcoming first Community Update Meeting (details to be announced). Alternatively, check back here as this project website will be regularly updated.

Once we have confirmed our proposed concept design, we will organize a Community Update Meeting to share the feedback we received on the project objectives, our proposed concept massing, and inspirational precedent images. We will also collect your feedback.
