Multi-Unit Housing in Windsor Park (Multi-Plexes)
Multi-plexes are not new to Windsor Park, but we’re seeing more of them since Edmonton’s new zoning bylaw came into effect in January 2024.
What is a Multi-Plex?
A ‘multi-plex’ is a building that contains 3 or more dwellings, all of which are accessible from the ground level or from an internal shared corridor or stairwell. This includes 3-plexes, 4-plexes, and apartment style buildings – including 8-plexes.
8-Plexes in Windsor Park
An 8-plex typically refers to a small scale apartment or row housing building with 8 separate homes. You can see a few examples in various stages of completion in Windsor Park:
- 87 Ave & 116St: An 8 unit apartment building completed several years ago.
- 89Ave & 117St: A new corner row housing project nearing completion (you can see a photo of it below).
- 87Ave & 117St/ 117St & University Ave: Development permits approved for upcoming builds (check out the renderings we have shared below).
Since the passage of the new zoning bylaw, 8-plex developments are now allowed in both interior and corner lots without the need for a rezoning application.
Want to Know More?
Builders must post signs about new developments, so you want to learn more about a specific project, contact the builder directly (info should be on the sign) or call 311 and reference the development permit number for more details.
We will continue to keep our community informed of new developments, but if you have any specific questions, contact civics@windsor-park.ca – your community league civics team will be happy to point you in the right direction.
