Completion Date: November 2019
Lead: Lakeview Community Partners Limited
Lakeview Village is a 177-acre development combining high-quality housing, office and retail space, dedicated arts and cultural facilities, and recreational areas including trails for walking and cycling. The 15-minute city also includes local access to a portion of Lake Ontario that was once occupied by a coal-fired power plant. Lakeview Village integrates greenspace, transit accessibility, and sustainable low-carbon green technologies such as District Energy and vacuum waste collection. The site’s natural environment serves as an outstanding feature of the development through the remediation of Serson Creek, a 600-metre pier on Lake Ontario, and access to the adjacent Jim Tovey Lakeview Conservation Area.

“The Lakeview Village stands out in its commitment to sustainability in the urban context. The proposed reduction in energy consumption centred around wastewater heat recovery and a district level energy plant is commendable. The ’15-minute city’ is walkable and socially sustainable, and the myriad of practical, proven green technologies all come together to make this a model for future sustainable development."
"This mixed-use project is recognized for sustainable principles embedded in its structural fabric. This complete community design project incorporates district energy and green strategies such as greywater use, rainwater harvesting, stormwater reuse and permeable paving which are adopted in the open space design."
"This project is recognized as delivering strong ecological stewardship on multiple levels within a private developer-driven process. Of particular note was the breadth and depth of the sustainability measures that resonate at the urban scale with district energy and at architectural scale with improved building assemblies, building systems, and the balance of active and passive systems. Perhaps equally exemplary was the development's proposal of a sustainability centre which serves to educate its users as well as illustrate the degrees of social sustainability through the provision of microclimates and extensive and well-considered public realm connectivity.”
