MBTW Group

Last week, The MBTW Group joined fellow planners and industry professionals at the OPPI Conference in Collingwood!🏔️

A great opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, and share perspectives on the future of planning, urban design, and landscape architecture.

MBTW attended a ballgame last week! ⚾ A great evening of connecting with industry peers, catching up with familiar faces and enjoying the Jays.

Thank you to Maglin for hosting such a memorable evening!

We’re excited to share the settlement approval by the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) for the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment supporting a high-rise residential development at 162–182 Norfolk Avenue.

The revised proposal includes 262 residential units across two buildings of 11 and 14 storeys, connected by a four-storey podium, along with 552 m² of parkland forming an extension to the existing Essex Parkette. Proud to have worked on this project alongside our client, the consulting team, and the Planning and Urban Design staff at the City of Richmond Hill, supporting the City’s efforts to respond to growing housing demand.

A big thank you to everyone who contributed to bringing this project forward, including our MBTW Urban Design team for their work throughout the project, with special recognition to Jasna Sehovic and Dan Ridgeway for helping lead the project through discussions with City staff and supporting the team in reaching a settlement.

Until next year!

⛳️ A day on the green with the MBTW team!

We were proud to attend OALA Golf Day for a great day of golf, networking, and connecting with colleagues across the landscape architecture community.

Golf is also an important part of what we do at MBTW, with our Greenfields team bringing expertise in golf course design and development. It was a great opportunity to get out on the course, enjoy the day, and spend time with others in the industry. Thank you to OALA for hosting such a fantastic event!

Milestones like these are the result of collaboration.

We're proud to celebrate our colleagues Jasna Sehović and Dan Ridgeway, who represented MBTW Group as part of the consultant team and provided expert Urban Design testimony to the Ontario Land Tribunal which has approved in principle the mixed-use development at 2300 John Street in Markham.

The project will deliver 642 new homes alongside commercial space, helping support a growing and connected community.

Congratulations to the entire project team on this significant milestone homes
