A NEW SMART GROWTH COMMUNITY
“Oval Court is INTENDED to BE Burlington’s Visionary New Destination Community that is seamlessly connected to transit and recreation and will demonstrate our longstanding commitment to quality and legacy.”
STEVE STIPSITS, PRESIDENT, BRANTHAVEN HOMES
The Right GOALS at Every Level
STRATEGICALLY LOCATED ON FAIRVIEW STREET JUST EAST OF APPLEBY LINE AND ADJACENT TO A KEY TRANSIT HUB IN BURLINGTON, The OVAL COURT site IS IDEALLY SUITED TO ADDRESS THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO AND CITY OF BURLINGTON’S NEED FOR TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT AND TO MEET THE PROVINCE AND CITY’S GROWTH OBJECTIVES. THE PROJECT WILL FOCUS ON:
- INCLUDING QUALITY AND AFFORDABLE RESIDENTIAL LIVING adjacent to transit.
- MAKING USE OF EXISTING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE INCLUDING GO TRANSIT, APPLEBY BUS STATION AND ADJACENT COMMUNITY PARKLAND AND TRAILS.
- GENERATING ECONOMIC GROWTH THROUGH ENHANCEMENT OF EXISTING EMPLOYMENT USES AND INCREASING THE RESIDENTIAL TAX BASE THROUGH APPROPRIATE INTENSIFICATION.
“A COMMUNITY SUCH AS OVAL COURT, THAT PROVIDES BOTH RESIDENTIAL AND EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES ADJACENT TO TRANSIT, IS A MODEL THAT SPEAKS TO SUSTAINABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY THAT ALL ONTARIANS SHOULD EMBRACE”
- HON. STEVE CLARK, MINISTER OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS AND HOUSING
A Smart growth mobility hub
THE COMMUNITY, ALONG WITH PROVINCIAL, REGIONAL AND MUNICIPAL LEADERSHIP HAVE ALL EXPRESSED INTEREST IN THE SMART GROWTH OF MOBILITY HUBS. IMPROVED TRANSIT SOLUTIONS HAVE BECOME AN IMPORTANT FOCUS FOR ONTARIO. OVAL COURT WILL ADDRESS THIS NEED FOR BURLINGTON RESIDENTS TODAY AND TOMORROW.
The Region:
The Oval Court Plan will be compatible with its surroundings allowing Halton Region to meet its population and employment Growth targets without affecting surrounding industry, while enhancing the economy in a neighbourhood that is in the midst of an important transformation.
THE PLAN PROMOTES SMART GROWTH – INTELLIGENT URBAN DENSITY, APPROPRIATE MIXED-USE INTENSIFICATION, UTILIZATION OF EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSIT SOLUTIONS TO HELP MOVE PEOPLE FREELY.
The City:
PEOPLE ARE EAGER FOR IMPROVED LIFE EXPERIENCES. THEY RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY BUILDING THAT WILL ADD VALUE AND MORE QUALITY OF LIFE EXPERIENCES TO THEIR NEIGBOuRHOODS.
A SURVEY SUGGESTS THAT THE NEIGHBOURS FEEL THAT OVAL COURT IS WELL SUITED FOR MIXED-USE DEVELOPMENT. THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT WOULD PROVIDE A RANGE OF USES TO SUPPORT FUTURE AND EXISTING RESIDENTS.
PROVIDING ACCESS TO GO TRANSIT, BURLINGTON TRANSIT, AND LINKAGES TO SHERWOOD FOREST PARK WILL MAKE THIS PART OF BURLINGTON LESS RELIANT ON CARS.
