EAGLESON HOUSING CO-OPERATIVE, KANATA

back to projects

The closing of the CPR main line from Ottawa to Carleton Place made this co-operative housing development possible. The Eagleson Road site is an irregular property shaped like two adjacent triangles, with the base of the triangles running along the railway right-of-way, now a hiking and bike path. Architect Ralph VandenBerg situated the 45 unit $4.4 million apartment building on the front triangle, keeping the rear triangle as open space. The project included 12 wheelchair accessible units and was completed in 1992.
