The neighbourhood plan also emphasizes pedestrian and cycling connectivity with a network of green spaces and paths.

Interested applications can enter a draw for the right to purchase one of the lots. The deadline to enter the draw is June 8 at 11:59 p.m.

Previous lot draws for city neighbourhood developments have attracted over 100,000 public applicants, said the city.

Forty-one single detached lots are available with a mix of front drive and lane access. Lot prices start at $152,000.

The city says the development requires builders to follow Built Green Canada standards, an industry standard program for energy-efficient and environmentally responsible construction.
