Boyle Renaissance meets the housing, social, recreation and service needs of current residents and welcomes new neighbours to the community.
The City of Edmonton is financing $99 million in infrastructure investments with revenues from The Quarters Downtown Community Revitalization Levy. These capital investments include upgrading drainage services to handle the higher-density residential and commercial development, as well as streetscaping improvements on 96 Street. These projects are helping to transform The Quarters Downtown into a diverse and inclusive community.
City-Led Projects

Private Developments
In addition to the City-driven initiatives taking place in The Quarters Downtown, several privately-funded projects are bringing life and vibrancy to the community.

The Hyatt Place Edmonton/Downtown is the first hotel to be built in Downtown Edmonton in 30 years.
