Residential development

While some residential development in Ermineskin dates to the 1960s and earlier, according to the 2001 federal census the bulk or residential development in the neighbourhood occurred during the 1970s and 1980s. Approximately two out of every five (42.6%) were built during the 1970s. Another one in three (30.5%) were built during the 1980s. One in five (19.7%) were built during the 1990s. [12]

According to the 2005 municipal census, the most common type of residences in the neighbourhood are rented apartments and apartment style condominiums. These account for approximately two out of every three (66%) residences in the neighbourhood. Approximately half of all apartment style residences are in low-rise buildings with fewer than five stories while the other half are in high-rise buildings with five or more stories. One residence in six (16%)are single-family dwellings and one residence in eight (13%) are row houses. One in twenty (5%) are duplexes [13] Almost three out of every four (72%) residences in the neighbourhood are rented, while just over on in four (28%) are owner-occupied. [14]

Century Park is a transit-oriented development. It replaces the now vacant Heritage Mall site, and will eventually be home to almost 9,000 residents along with retail and office space. [15] The development is served by the Century Park LRT Station as part of the South LRT Expansion, completed in April 2010.

Century Park was first announced in 2006 and was expected to be completed in 2014 at a total cost of around one billion dollars. [16] Almost 100 people lined up overnight outside the development's marketing centre when the first condos went on sale in September 2006, at a starting price of $393,000. All 131 units available for sale were sold out within six hours. [17] Due to the 2007–2008 financial crisis, the project was put on hold with only 400 of the planned 2,900 residential units built. [18] While the project was being re-evaluated, in 2010, the City of Edmonton leased part of the property for a LRT park and ride lot which operated until its closing in 2020. In 2017, development at the site restarted with the construction of an 18-storey residential tower which was completed in 2019. [18] The revised project, which consists of 4,500 rental units in townhouses and buildings ranging in height from four to 24 storeys, is expected to take 10 years to complete. [15]

The population in Ermineskin is highly mobile. According to the 2005 municipal census, one resident in four (24.5%) had moved within the previous twelve months. Another one in four (28.3%) had moved within the previous one to three years. Only one resident in three (33.1%) had lived at the same address for five years or longer. [19]
