Radius Rising: Bridgeland condo project is a welcome sign of progress for Bucci Developments

"We're calling the City every day telling them we're interested," he said. "We love Bridgeland and it's a pretty special site."

Walk it, bike it, like it: for many city-centre denizens, urban living is all about simplicity and connectedness
Jenna Dutton and her fiancé have called the city centre community of Ramsay home for the past two years. Prior to that, Dutton lived in next-door Inglewood.
