Lendrum

Civida is redeveloping two aging social housing apartment complexes in the Lendrum Place neighbourhood in south west Edmonton. These complexes were built in the early 1960’s and served the community of Lendrum for over 50 years. They had reached the end of their lifespan.

The new development has been designed with extensive community input and in partnership with the City of Edmonton to meet the needs of those waiting for affordable housing in our city. Construction began in 2021, and is expected to be complete in 2023.

Our tenants will be proud to call this new development home.

We are committed to a planning and redevelopment process that is inclusive, transparent and driven by our values. Over the course of this project we engaged residents, families, neighbours, businesses, organizations, community partners and the public in a meaningful way that generated a shared sense of commitment to this site redevelopment. Through collaboration and engagement we have the opportunity to have a positive impact in the community that this housing complex is a part of.

Throughout this engagement we:

• Ensured the timely sharing of project information that provided all stakeholders and interested parties with complete, objective and reliable information,
• Engaged and gathered feedback, opinions and perspectives at various stages in the development of the site, and
• Clearly demonstrated our commitment to engaging the public and incorporating their input into the project.

Using a phased approach, between October 2016 and April 2017 we hosted open houses and public meetings in the Lendrum community to enable people to contribute to and be engaged in this project. Through these consultations we shared information and provided people with the opportunity to learn, ask questions, share thoughts, discuss ideas and review concepts.
