YEG's first 'Shipping Container Apartment' opening!

Think ‘modular home’ or “tiny house’ but apartment style!!

That’s what we have to look forward to here in Edmonton, a newer living concept that takes shipping containers and re-purposes them into living spaces!

The shipping containers are turned into 60 foot by 12-foot pre-fab units which are fully finished — walls, floors and even tiling, then put together to make a finished structure at three stories containing two and one bedroom units with a private balcony/patio and in suite laundry.

“Step Ahead Properties Ltd. is launching Edmonton’s first ever multi-family infill constructed from re-purposed, non-combustible steel shipping containers.

Most shipping containers only make a one-way trip to North America, building up on our coasts.

Used in modular construction, recycled containers greatly reduce carrying costs for developers by decreasing assembly time on site.

Alberta has seen shipping containers re purposed as garage suites, lane houses and even a hotel.

Now, in partnership with Ladacor Modular Systems, Step Ahead Properties is redefining sea-can construction with Edmonton’s first shipping container apartment — one that doesn’t look like shipping containers at all.”

The grand opening of this new apartment building is planned for Saturday, July 22nd, with tenants moving in August 2017! You can join the celebration at Westgate Manor, 16315 96A AVE Edmonton, AB from 12-3!
