Portwood is a multi-phase development that will accommodate the gradual growth of much-needed housing in Port Moody. The master plan for the vibrant, diverse and sustainable community includes an innovative mix of affordable rental, market rental and market housing that will be provided in twenty buildings spread across five distinct neighborhoods. More than seventy-five percent of the site will be green space consisting of neighborhood parks, a multi-use trail system and urban forests and streams. A grocery store, café and a child care centre will be located at the heart of the development, and a public art program spread throughout the site will showcase work by local Port Moody artists. The first phase of the development will include three hundred twenty-five affordable rental units developed by BC Housing in partnership with EDGAR.
