A LEED CERTIFIED COMMUNITYSUSTAINABILITY & INNOVATION

Sustainability is at the heart of Brightwater, a former oil refinery brownfield that has been transformed into a sustainable waterfront neighbourhood that preserves and enhances its natural setting. Our commitment to enhancing the natural landscape is reconnecting Port Credit to its waterfront, with a strong emphasis on walkability, sustainability, and connectivity. 

LEED Certified Community

Brightwater has achieved LEED Neighbourhood Development (ND) certification, reflecting its commitment to green infrastructure and climate-conscious design. Our commitment to green building standards ensure practical solutions that make everyday life greener, healthier, and more connected.

Nature-Led Design

Low Impact Development strategies, including bioswales and naturalized landscaping, manage stormwater on site while supporting biodiversity. Trees and native plantings enhance air quality and ecological health, while green roofs help reduce building energy loads.

Easy, Sustainable Connections

A community shuttle to Port Credit GO, along with extensive pedestrian and cycling networks, supports eco-friendly transportation. A connected system of trails and streetscapes encourages walkability, reduces car dependency, and links residents to J.C. Saddington Park, Port Credit Memorial Park, and the Waterfront Trail—supporting an active, healthy lifestyle and a more livable future.

Parks, Plazas & Shared Spaces

The development introduces 18 acres of parks, including a nine-acre waterfront park, creating resilient green spaces that support environmental stewardship. Plazas and green corridors foster social interaction, while accessible streets, parks, and active public spaces contribute to a safe and vibrant public realm.
