Bond Street Properties Inc. is pleased to present its proposal for the development and
construction of two hi-rise residential structures to be located at the northeast corner of
Morrison Street and MacDonald Avenue.
The current geopolitical realities of the world have influenced and increased the level of oil
sands development in the Fort McMurray region, resulting in ever-increasing pressure on the
City's real estate market, as well as affording the City an unprecedented level of global
prominence.
Therefore, the rationale for the proposed development is supported by the following:
- The contemplated development will be the start of the creation of a downtown city
SKYLINE that will enhance the City's international image.
- The overall development, which includes retail and commercial space in conjunction with
the residential units, will provide an ANCHOR for the City's downtown core area.
- The upscale design of the development will assist in the REVITALIZATION of the downtown
business district.
The development will assist in alleviating the City's current HOUSING shortage.
Upon completion, the development will provide a substantial increase to the City's TAX
BASE.
In addition to the above-stated benefits to the City of Fort McMurray, the proposed
development has been carefully designed in order to ensure its quality, character, and
environmental compatibility. Following is a detailed description of the salient features of the
proposed development:
• 274 residential units
• 12,250 s.f. commercial space
• 438 parking stalls (exceeds requirement by 4 stalls)
• Amenity areas within the development include:
Transportation marshalling area for approximately 145 persons
Indoor garden atrium
Outdoor seating/barbeque area

LEEDtm certified Building (silver, possibly gold). This world-recognized sustainable building
design certification represents a very positive image for the Fort McMurray oil-based
economy to project to the world.
The development has also been designed to conform to the Regional Municipality of Wood
Buffalo's Lower Townsite Redevelopment Plan.
