Overview

Townhomes Of Unity Square is a new townhouse community by Forever Homes currently under construction at Tunks Lane, Middlesex Centre. These townhomes are designed for people, not cars, focusing on creating a community centered on residents and their connection to their surroundings.

Community Design

Unity Square has been designed by award-winning architects, engineers, and designers in collaboration with Dr. Avi Friedman. The community applies best-of urban design practices, emphasizing a people-centered approach. The design minimizes the impact of cars on the site plan and home designs, resulting in fewer interior roads and more green space for residents to enjoy. Front doors are not hidden behind garages, creating more attractive streetscapes. Homes are designed to hide cars from the street with driveways located below patios and garages integrated into the home.

Green Space and Accessibility

Ease of access to green space for residents is fundamental to the urban design of Unity Square. Green spaces are literally steps away from front doors, enhancing the overall living experience by connecting residents to the environment and surrounding community. Features include:

Continuous walking paths
Community agriculture
Activity areas and play mounds
Native species plants

Environmental Impact

The design choices at Unity Square also have a positive impact on the environment. The community features larger green spaces and reduced interior roads, parking lots, and sidewalks, allowing for Low Impact Development (LID) techniques for managing rainwater runoff. These green spaces and subsurface stormwater systems mimic the natural process of infiltration, protecting the quality of water before returning it to local aquatic habitats. Unity Square is one of the largest residential LID developments in Canada, making it both resilient and environmentally friendly.
