PROFILE
The Award-Winning* Garden Trail in Burlington, Ontario is the region’s most successful example of brownfield redevelopment and environmental responsibility. It has faced some of the most challenging obstacles for development and has succeeded beyond anyone's expectations.
Emshih Developments went beyond legislative requirements to incorporate and reintroduce significant environmental features into a new development project – the Garden Trail in Burlington.
The project faced many obstacles, including significant highway exposure, CN Railway issues, a complete environmental assessment, a lengthy and successful environmental decommissioning, significant stormwater issues, Ministry of Fishery concerns due to the Grindstone Creek crossing, and urbanization issues of surrounding neighbourhoods.
Satisfying the concerns of these neighbours was no easy task. However, the completed project has proven to be extremely satisfying to all neighbours and parties involved.
Garden Trail is in good company, with neighbouring lands including the City of Burlington Parklands, the Halton Conservation Authority ,and the Royal Botanical Gardens.
