AbstractThis presentation explores a sustainable development project proposal for an existing surface parking lot owned by Queen Elizabeth Health Complex (QEHC) in the Notre-Dame-de-Grâce neighbourhood in Montreal, not far from the MUHC Glen Yards site. The proposed development would have: (1) a maximum 4-story level height; (2) a green rooftop; (3) shared community subterranean car and bicycle parking; (4) 70% floor-to-area ration (FAR) building coverage in relation to site; (5) universal accessibility; and (6) a drop off delivery zone. The development is intended to be a model mixed use cooperative. The projects two main components include (1) community housing, or residential space for co-housing, affordable home-ownership, and mixed-income co-operative housing, as well as housing adapted to the needs of specific populations; and (2)community space, or commercial space for offices, meeting rooms, kitchen and dining areas, performance spaces, workshop spaces, and so on to meet the need of community groups and the surrounding neighbourhood. The goals are to foster commu-nity health and sustainability by transforming a parking lot into an ecological building that includes housing, businesses, and gathering places for diversity of residents and community organizations.
