The 400 acre southwest sloping site on Porpoise Bay includes several unique natural streams, wooded areas and a picturesque waterfront.  It accommodates several distinct neighbourhoods linked by extensive parks and trails leading to a waterfront village centre.  Non-motorized water crafts provide an animated marine vista.  Sustainable characteristics include construction to GreenBuild certified standards, passive and active solar collection systems, district energy systems, recycling grey water for non-potable uses, and buildings that are sited for easy and convenient pedestrian access.
