Many of the projects have architectural details that are indistinguishable from market rate developments of similar scale. They are also designed by architects responsible for some of the areas notable buildings in the urban core. Trinity Flats sit adjacent to two of those developments, Northview and Evermere. The 3 developments set a precedent for affordable housing design and together are permitted to create a combined max of 931 units:
