The History of Kanata
The friendly city of Kanata is a suburban area located in the western part of the city of Ottawa. This important tech center has a population of 90,000 residents and has experienced rapid growth since its incorporation in 1978. The planned city was formed from portions of the townships of March, Goulbourn, and Nepean. Kanata remained a city until 2001 when the province created a newly unified city of Ottawa that included it as a part of the bigger city. Kanata is located just to the west of the Greenbelt and it is one of the largest of several communities that surround greater central Ottawa.
Real State Development in Kanata
Mainly an agricultural-based area until the 1960s, commercial development kicked into high gear when the commercial developer and planner Bill Teron purchased over 3,000 acres of rural land and set about building a model planned community. Unlike other Ottawa suburbs, Kanata was designed to integrate a mix of commercial and residential developments. Protecting large amounts of open space, the area was subdivided into a series of unique planned communities. The goal was for each of the communities to have their own distinct commercial centres enhanced by cultural diversity. These communities include Beaverbrook, Bridlewood, Katimavik, Glen Cairn, Hazeldean, Morgan’s Grant, and Kanata Lakes. For many, a deciding factor when moving to Kanata is the large shopping centre known as Kanata Entertainment Centrum.This development has expanded over the years into a one-stop-shop.
