What if a solution to the housing crisis is in big box retail stores?

Описание: We dive deep into a groundbreaking approach to solving the housing crisis by repurposing under-utilized big box retail spaces into thriving mixed-use housing developments.

Join Michael Janz, a dedicated advocate for innovative urban development in Ward Papastew, as we meet with a pioneering developer for an on-site exploration of transforming these expansive retail locations into dynamic living spaces. With expert insights from Ryan Eidick, a University of Alberta professor and development industry professional, we unveil the potential and advantages of suburban retail retrofitting.

Discover how this strategic approach can combat urban sprawl, support local infrastructure, and breathe new life into commercial areas, ultimately contributing to the creation of inclusive and vibrant urban communities.
