The Saskatoon Land Incentive Program offers incentives to promote environmentally sustainable building and household practices.
A Complete Commuity
Aspen Ridge is the third new neighbourhood in University Heights. This “complete community” is designed to accommodate all aspects of your daily life, including a range of housing options, employment opportunities, art, culture, recreational facilities and other amenities.
Care has been taken to incorporate mixed housing choices, open spaces, commercial options and a transportation corridor in a sensitive and harmonious manner. Aspen Ridge will have the natural beauty and benefits of parks, trails and natural grasslands, along with all the amenities of the city.
Natural Prairie Spaces
In Aspen Ridge, connecting with nature will be as simple as a walk in the park. The neighbourhood is bounded on the northwest by the Northeast Swale, a native grassland ecosystem. This ancient river channel is unique to the Saskatoon region and is home to several rare and endangered plants and animals.
To help protect this important ecological feature, a transitional park called The Greenway will be built between the edge of the neighbourhood and the Swale. Seeded with native prairie plants, The Greenway includes plans for a trail that will run the length of Aspen Ridge, connecting to the Swale and the Meewasin Valley river trail system.
Connecting Communities
McOrmond Drive will serve Aspen Ridge and nearby neighbourhoods with a mix of commercial amenities and high-density housing. The street will act as a transportation corridor, creating a vibrant, transit-friendly node that will connect to adjacent neighbourhoods and the city’s north end employment district.
The area will provide the ideal place to grab groceries on your way home or grab a coffee before hopping on the bus. McOrmond will offer everything you need, including shops, restaurants, lounges and pubs, spas, hair salons, medical clinics, grocery stores and more.
