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.

Thanks again to blog reader Janine for inspiring me to continue with a series of blog posts on Greenboro. In this post, I look at the origins of the neighbourhood, as it is truly unique in Ottawa. The Greenboro neighbourhood stands out from surrounding areas due to its generous greenspace surrounding the houses. In later phases the amount of greenspace was reduced, but is still high. Below is a Google map with the Greenboro area highlighted in yellow. There is noticeably more green space within the neighbourhood compared to the adjacent areas. Over the coming months I will be posting on the different residential pockets within Greenboro. So far, I have posted on a few areas in Greenboro. I will update the list as new posts are added.
