Neighbourhood - Tewin | Algonquins of Ontario + Taggart

[hoggytime]

Project Description:

Tewin is an exciting city-building project that will transform land in southeast Ottawa into a sustainable, connected and complete community founded on Algonquin values. The Algonquins of Ontario, along with the Taggart family, are proud owners of this land. We are calling the land Tewin (pronounced “Tay-Win”), which means “home.”

The Tewin community is both a natural evolution for Ottawa and an entirely new kind of opportunity. By protecting the natural environment and championing a holistic approach to planning and design, Tewin will become a community created by the Algonquins of Ontario, in partnership with the Taggart Group – it will become Ottawa’s true contemporary complete community. Tewin has the potential to accommodate between 35,000 and 45,000 residents along with thousands of jobs, and will serve as a model for healthy, innovative, and integrated development. It is an inclusive community for everyone, with affordable housing thoughtfully incorporated into the design. Development of the lands will fulfill a range of Ottawa’s strategic city-building and growth objectives.

Exciting community that will cost the City billions to serve. Really hoping they (the developers) keep their promise of building a dense development and funding infrastructure.

From the presentation on the website:

Note, strategy 2 is the preferred option.

For this one, it's strategy 3 that was chosen as the preferred option:

Strategy 1 for the parks.

Doesn't look terrible. Good mix of densities, heavy indigenous influence. As long as they don't revert to standard, bland suburbia at the end of it all. Doubt we'll see those Maison Allumettes type homes that close together. Really does look like Hull density from 100 years ago.
