Neighborhood Profile: Ermineskin

Like many neighbourhoods in this part of Edmonton, Ermineskin has a curvilinear street pattern and was developed during the 1970s and 1980s. Most of the area is residential, but there are also large portions of commercial, open space, and vacant land that make Ermineskin a very mixed-use neighbourhood. The residential development within the neighbourhood is mixed in terms of residential densities and structure types. Ermineskin contains single- and semi-detached houses, row housing, and low- and high-rise apartments.

The 17.4-hectare (43-acre) site of the former Heritage Mall, located along 111th Street, began its transformation into a mixed-use urban village in the mid-2000s. Called “Century Park,” this redevelopment provides a mixture of commercial, office, and residential space oriented around a central park space. It is connected to a new Light Rail Transit (LRT) station, making it Edmonton’s first purpose-built Transit Oriented Development and large-scale greyfield redevelopment project. When complete, Century Park will contain 2,800 residential units and 360,000 square feet of office and commercial space.
