Huron Heritage Village

Huron Heritage Village is a new mixed-use neighbourhood located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Fischer-Hallman Road and Huron Road in the southwest area of the City of Kitchener.  Huron Heritage Village will be a mixed-use neighbourhood containing stand-alone and mixed-use commercial buildings, a wide range of residential dwelling types, an elementary school, neighbourhood parks and parkettes, and significant natural spaces.

The central focus of the neighbourhood is a linear “central green” through the heart of the neighbourhood, which is framed by rear-lane townhouses and provides a high quality urban space for residents.  The central green is linked to a large greenspace area, comprised of a naturalized stormwater management pond and a preserved wetland area.  The alignment of an existing diagonal road is creatively incorporated into the neighbourhood’s open space system through a series of commemoration spaces that signify various points in the property’s history, and create a “heritage walk” through the neighbourhood.
