The SkyDev Difference. Here’s What Sets Us Apart.
We begin with the end in mind.
Community amenities
We tailor the amenities in our developments to enhance community well-being and enjoyment.
We include details catered to resident dreams in a community. Indoor/outdoor lounges and terraces, playgrounds, dog runs, fitness centres, yoga studios, multi-purpose outdoor courts, barbeques, community gardens, and rooftop honey are among some of the features provided.
Transportation choices
We design and develop our communities to encourage the use of sustainable transit. It starts as early as the planning stages: when choosing where to develop, we largely factor in proximity to transit options. Our communities include electric vehicle (EV) charging stations capable of increasing with demand over time to promote more environmentally friendly transportation options. We consider proximity to nearby public transportation, allowing residents and occupants to travel around town quickly and effortlessly. Properties feature large, secure bicycle/locker storage rooms to facilitate bike commuting and enjoyment.

Sustainable growth
Infill opportunities are paramount to smart growth in Canada. The use of existing infrastructure (transportation, water/sewer, electricity, and open space) and urban renewal through the development of underutilized urban sites enhances communities and preserves the environment. We are a proud proponent of intensification in our selection of development properties.
Our practices include brownfield remediation, where contaminated sites are reclaimed and transformed into clean and vibrant communities, tree replanting initiatives, and environmental protection of surrounding land uses.

Affordable housing for people who need it most
Community well-being means ensuring that all Canadians have a place to call home. There is an essential need for new purpose-built rental housing supply across the country, and we’re proud to be part of the solution.
