SustainableBiz | Ironwood Development Leads to Cleaner, Naturalized Oshawa Creek

OSHAWA - An Oshawa development has had a significant positive impact on the environment before construction even begins on the project itself.

The due diligence for the site involved temporarily diverting Oshawa Creek and removing concrete fragments, asphalt, large segments of interlocking steel sheet piles, and aluminum culverts from the creek and the surrounding land this past summer.

“We had to do it in a very careful and limited window because of salmon spawning and some other sensitivities around the diversion of the creek,” Podium vice-president Christian Huggett told Sustainable Biz.

Podium Developments and Building Capital's Creek Restoration and Land Donation Benefit the City of Oshawa

OSHAWA - Ironwood in North Oshawa, Durham Region’s 2020 Community of the Year, is surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected conservation land, forests and parks, and is bisected by a section of Oshawa Creek.

This intimate connection with nature required Podium Developments and Building Capital to interact with the Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority (CLOCA) to ensure that the new community of freehold townhomes would be developed with respect for the environment. The due diligence process included the developers cleaning up the remnants of the past uses of the property. In accordance with the approved site plan, the developers have also conveyed 3.5 acres of ravine land to the City of Oshawa.

“The number-one thing we love is that there is a natural ravine behind the homes. We appreciate nature a lot. A trail, playground, outdoor skating rink and toboggan area will be built in the community, so Janiyah is also excited. There will even be a community garden, which is new to us and very interesting. The community is very secure and quiet, with local amenities only minutes away.”
