We are thrilled to announce that the transformation of the former Enbridge building in Edmonton, Alberta, into the Peak Residence is nearing completion, with tenants expected to move in just a month! This project represents a significant shift from corporate offices to a dynamic residential community, complete with 250 modern units and commercial opportunities on the main floor.

At Design Works Engineering, our team spearheaded the mechanical and electrical design, ensuring that every aspect of the building supports sustainable urban living. We're excited to showcase each unit's stunning views as construction wraps up.
