Wedgewood Park in Greenboro

The Wedgewood Park enclave in Greenboro has always captivated my imagination due to the intricate layouts of the units. Each building includes single and multi-level designs each with a front door to the exterior, as well as a basement. Additionally, every unit also has a fireplace and garage. The project features eight distinct designs, with a variety of building layouts—some are more linear, while others create a front courtyard. I previously highlighted Wedgewood Park in my "Missing Middle" series, as it serves as an excellent example of multi-family housing that maintains a human scale. What I particularly appreciate about this development is the range of layouts, which could accommodate a variety of housing needs and life stages. Ottawa Citizen. January 11, 1986. Ottawa Citizen.

Shepton Dales, Woodhaven and Parkhaven in Greenboro

In the late 1980s, Wedgewood Building Corporation started building a collection of five 4-story condominium buildings on Lorry Greenberg Drive. The first phase of this vision came to life as a trio of buildings called Shepton Dales. In the early 1990s, the developments continued with the addition of the Woodhaven and Parkhaven buildings. Unfortunately, while I am lucky enough to have the original plans for Shepton Dales, I do not have them for the other two buildings (just a price list and floor plate for Woodhaven). Ottawa Citizen.
