5 studios, 693 one-bedrooms, 411 two-bedrooms and 130 three-bedroom units, including 23 townhomes. The project will benefit from its close proximity to Scarborough Centre TTC station, which is also serviced by GO Transit, and the future Scarborough Subway Extension. The entire project is being designed to promote wellbeing and community building through the inclusion of extensive indoor and outdoor amenities. These include outdoor lounge areas, co-working spaces, a children's playroom, fitness facilities, and a new 22,000 square foot public park at the south end of the development. The completed project seeks to reduce its environmental impact by using a geothermal heating and cooling system that will reduce overall energy use by 55% and greenhouse gas emissions by 74%. "It is more important than ever that governments at all levels in Canada come together with the private sector to make bold choices that improve Canadian communities, and this project is the perfect example," said Blake Hutcheson, President and CEO of OMERS. "This development not only puts our members' dollars to work right here in Ontario, but it does so in a project that is being supported by federal funding which in turn will help maximize the Province and City of Toronto's substantial investment in rapid transit to Scarborough. It will help deliver returns for our members, while also improving housing choice in a community that so many of them proudly call home and serve." Alta marks the first development within Oxford's recently approved master plan for STC. The multi-decade plan envisions over 10,000 residential units built across 89 developable acres to support Scarborough in its evolution and growth as an urban hub, while optimizing STC's relationship to the new transit station. This master plan builds on Oxford's continued conviction to create premier mixed-use communities across Canada. This development is part of a series of recent major investments made by Oxford in Canada, where it has announced almost $2 billion of activity in the past six weeks, including an acquisition of a seven-asset Western Canada office portfolio, and a redevelopment of two office towers at Canada Square in Midtown Toronto. Construction on Alta is expected to be completed by Summer 2029. Pomerleau, one of Canada's largest construction firms, has selected Abitibi Connex to support the $1.8 billion Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA) Redevelopment Project in Moosonee and Moose Factory. The partnership will be supported by Pinnacle Logistics Solutions Ltd., a specialty over-dimensional logistics management company, to coordinate material delivery for constructing a new regional healthcare campus that will serve patients and clients living along Ontario's James Bay and Hudson Bay coasts. The Project includes a new hospital in Moosonee featuring 36 private inpatient beds, a 32-bed long-term Elder Care Lodge, a 24-hour emergency department, modern surgical suites, and more. An additional ambulatory care centre in Moose Factory will provide culturally-appropriate care for everyone living in the western James Bay and Hudson Bay coastal regions of Ontario. This July, Pomerleau and Pinnacle Logistics Solutions Ltd. launched material transfers to Abitibi Connex, coordinating construction supplies through the former paper mill site that BMI Group and Dutch investment group Business-EQ have redeveloped. Ontario Northland Rail is upgrading 11.5 km of rail spur to create a direct connection from Iroquois Falls to the Cochrane junction, where materials will be railed north to their destination in Moosonee. Pinnacle Logistics Ltd. views Abitibi Connex as a key strategic partner in delivering critical infrastructure to northern Ontario. Coordinating material movement for a project of this scale in a remote region demands both creative logistics and strong partnerships. With a centralized, purpose-built logistics hub, Abitibi Connex enables Pinnacle and Pomerleau to efficiently move essential construction materials—ensuring healthcare infrastructure reaches northern communities where and when it's needed most. The operation will handle approximately 3,000 rail cars through Abitibi Connex over three years and create an estimated 120 jobs during peak construction. "This partnership demonstrates the complex logistics coordination needed for major northern development, and the success partnerships like this bring to them," said Frank Devries, Principal & General Manager, Pinnacle Logistics Solutions Ltd. This Project addresses a critical service gap in northern Ontario, where residents often travel hundreds of kilometers for specialized care. Once complete, these modern facilities will provide emergency, acute, and specialty healthcare in spaces that culturally reflect local traditions and healing practices. The Project is expected to be complete in 2030. "Abitibi Connex demonstrates how existing infrastructure can be re-tooled to catalyze major regional projects," said John Veldman, BMI Group's Chief Operating Officer. "Logistics infrastructure that aligns with community needs is how we, as a country, are going to realize Canada's near-north and Arctic future—supporting the WAHA Redevelopment Project is proof of it." The Abitibi Connex site is being developed in close collaboration with the Town of Iroquois Falls, who have enthusiastically supported the project, and J.L. Richards & Associates, who lead the master planning process for the former mill and surrounding lands. A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new launch of Abitibi Connex will take place on July 25, 2025, at 1:30 PM. The event invites representatives from across the community.
