Gemstone Estates – Comprehensive Planning, Design, and Project Management

A large residential development, Gemstone Estates, is creating a thriving community on Thunder Bay's north side. Spanning approximately 49 acres (20 hectares), this development aims to offer residents a serene neighborhood with large parks, proximity to schools, and easy access to amenities. As demand for housing continues in the area, this multi phased project will include 300 residential units.

To bring this vision to life, Nadin Contracting leveraged our expertise in land planning, civil engineering, geotechnical engineering and environmental services to overcome the project's technical challenges. From preliminary planning and land use to construction engineering and inspection, this cohesive approach made sure that they could rely on a single partner for all aspects of the project, streamlining the process and maintaining high standards of quality and safety.

Key challenges included managing the site's bedrock and providing innovative stormwater management solutions. Our team worked diligently to design an underground stormwater system, a solution which maximized lot availability and preserved valuable residential space.

Public consultation and engagement were also critical components of the project. We addressed community concerns with transparent communication throughout the development process. This collaborative approach helped mitigate resistance and fostered a positive relationship with the local community. The result? A project that not only addresses the areas’ housing needs, but also enhances the Thunder Bay community.
