Diverse Housing Options
The proposal for Belle Isle North includes 108 ground-oriented homes, ranging from one to three bedrooms. ten of the three-bedroom homes include a lock-off companion suite.
The lock-off companion suites are envisioned to be multi-functional: a three-bedroom home for families to grow into, an area for grandparents to live close to their grandchildren, or a mortgage helper for families.

Multi-Modal Transportation Plan
The extension of Belle Isle Road will connect to Glenaire Drive helping improve neighbourhood circulation.
