Designed by Montreal-based Saucier + Perrotte Architects, the four-phase, 1,100 unit River City community is unlike anything else. Winner of multiple national and international design awards including an OAA Lieutenant Governor’s Award for Design Excellence, it has a unique architectural aesthetic that responds to both the “soft” parkland and “hard” transportation infrastructure that surround the site.
