The '30-second commute'
Live-work concept grabs holds in Cochrane
In a town of less than 20,000 residents, the traditionally large urban centred live-work concept is proving to be a big hit.
Cochrane town council has just given approval of amendments to its land-use bylaw to ensure specific guidelines are in place for both developers and owners of units in mixed-use residential/commercial projects.
This comes after LaVita Properties, the developer behind Cochrane's first live/work project aptly titled Satellite Townhomes in Sunset Ridge's Trading Post development announced it is already planning a second similar venture.
