Where is the Quarters?
The Quarters Downtown is on the eastern edge of downtown Edmonton with easy access to the natural amenities of the City’s river valley, arts, entertainment and financial districts. The area extends from 97 Street to 92 Street, and from 103A Avenue to the top of the river valley (approximately 40 hectares or 100 acres).
The Quarters includes the Boyle Renaissance, a made-in-community solution that will provide a range of market and affordable housing opportunities and a variety of services such as childcare, family services, cultural opportunities, park space and a community garden.
The Quarters Downtown urban design plan features 5 distinct districts or precincts. There are 4 "quarters" linked by The Armature, each having their own unique character and design.
What's Happening in the Quarters?
Over the next 5, 10, and 20 years, the area will be transformed into a vibrant, diverse and inclusive community well connected to the central business and cultural district and the river valley.
Once completed, The Quarters Downtown will be an environmentally-sustainable, walkable, diverse community with appealing design, inclusive housing, and green spaces. The area currently houses about 2,400 residents; however, it has abundant room for growth and redevelopment with the capacity to accommodate up to 20,000 people.
