Housing Projects

We are proud and honoured to be part of the City of Edmonton’s affordable housing projects at Inglewood, King Edward Park and Westmount. A new project at Terrace Heights is starting today and McArthur is coming soon!

Westmount – Edmonton, AB Canada

This 3 storey Supportive Housing modular apartment building was finished in 2022. It’s 34,000 ft2 and it consists on 54 modular units. It has 9 barrier free units, 15 1-bedroom units, and 30 studio units. It took our crews 6 days to crane these units into place. This project used smaller boxes to complete the L-shaped design. The main floor, elevator shaft and stairwell are made of concrete. The 3 top modular floors are wood construction. Each room has its own mechanical room that’s located in the hallways for easy maintenance access. Each suite consists of a kitchenette, bathroom, and living space.

All domestic water system fixtures installed are low volume water use to achieve water savings by having a lower flow rate of water or a smaller quantity per flush. All appliances and electrical fixtures were chosen for their energy-saving properties.

Delnor Construction was the General Contractor on site. They did an excellent job making this project a success.

McArthur Project

This 6-storey, supportive housing project was built to help end homelessness in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. We started manufacturing in December 2021, and manufacturing was finished 3 months later with our last unit coming off the line in February 2022. It is one of five multi-family supportive housing complexes that Northgate constructed in 2021 - 2022. We use an advanced multi-unit construction strategy that ensures superior craftsmanship when delivering the finished product. Northgate Industries delivers affordable, sustainable buildings that reduce long-term maintenance.
This 6-story building consists of 50 modules. The main floor was constructed with concrete and the next 5 floors were modular wood construction. The designs consist of 3 types of suites:

Each suite consists of a kitchenette, bathroom, and living space with a large window. Our team was able to stack 50 modular units on the foundation in just 6 days.
At Northgate Industries Ltd we have over 200,000 ft2 of interior manufacturing space in our plant. Our advanced engineering and our flexible end-to-end modular manufacturing process allowed us to minimize construction time on this project. Our clients needed a quick build for a faster rate of occupancy to help get the vulnerable off the streets. Our winters can get below -40 Celsius in Edmonton, AB. Canada.
Our assembly processes are constantly monitored by our knowledgeable team ensuring fast turn-around and less waste. We were awarded this project because of our reputation in the modular industry. Northgate Industries maintains a rigid environmental policy that reduces the impact on our vulnerable ecosystems by using conscientious materials and appliances in the manufacturing process.

Inglewood – Edmonton, AB Canada

This 3 storey Supportive Housing modular apartment building was built in 2021 - 2022. It’s 19,000 ft2 and it consists on 30 modular units. It has 6 barrier free units, 6 1-bedroom units, and 18 studio units. It took our crews 4 days to crane these units into place. This project was off a busy roadway. With the quick craning into place we impacted traffic only for a few days while the trucks brought these modular boxes to site.

The main floor, elevator shaft and stairwell are made of concrete. The 3 top modular floors are wood construction. Each room has its own mechanical room that’s located in the hallways for easy maintenance access. Each suite consists of a kitchenette, bathroom, and living space. The roof has a large patio area with a beautiful view of the city.

It has six barrier free units, six 1-bedroom units, and 18 studio units. It took our crews 4 days to crane these units into place. The main floor, elevator shaft and stairwell are made of concrete. The 3 top modular floors are wood construction. Each room has its own mechanical room that’s located in the hallways for easy maintenance access. Each suite consists of a kitchenette, bathroom, and living space with a large window to bring in lots of natural light.

All domestic water system fixtures installed are low volume water use to achieve water savings by having a lower flow rate of water or a smaller quantity per flush. All appliances and electrical fixtures were chosen for their energy-saving properties.
