Community

Let your path take you towards The Gardens, a single place to live, eat, gather and grow. A community that mixes nature and city like never before, with 12 acres of lush greenery and brightly coloured flowers neighbouring luxurious, new condominiums. The Gardens is a place where you’ll keep finding reasons to mingle with neighbours, friends, and the larger community, without venturing too far from home.

Here, nature is not a majestic, faraway land or a place to visit someday; it’s right here, an essential part of everyday well-being, for contemplation, celebration and even dining. Just a short walk from every doorway lies the Farm Garden, where you have the opportunity to mind your own garden and pull fresh food straight from the earth and onto your plate. A major grocery store will also be here, providing a bounty of culinary options.

In each thoughtfully-designed, residential building, a variety of shops & services will be located on the main floor to meet your daily needs, whether it’s a latte, freshly baked bread or a doctor’s appointment. This life-style approach not only provides extraordinary convenience, it attracts visitors from near and far, adding to a lively, bustling neighbourhood.

Located in the Shellmont neighbourhood of South Richmond, The Gardens is still close to everything you love about city life. Riverport is nearby for movies, bowling, skating and swimming, while downtown Richmond offers incredible shopping, restaurants, cafes, and karaoke bars, all within close reach.

Natural Gardens

Bursting with decades of growth, the well-established natural gardens will soon be rejuvenated for every resident of Richmond and their neighbours to enjoy. The 12-acre public park, with thoughtful input from the community, was carefully and cooperatively designed by local area residents, Townline and the City of Richmond. Renowned for its award winning Parks & Recreation team, the City of Richmond will ensure the community park is carefully maintained for all to enjoy. Nowhere else can you have access to a professionally landscaped 12-acre garden without having to lift a finger.
