Black & White Meat and Grocery

‘Black & White’ is a mixed-use development located in the historic community of Ramsay. The site will feature eleven new townhomes and a modernized Black and White Meat and Groceries building, which has served the community since 1949.

Re-imagined as a small-scale commercial building, the municipally designated structure will retain its existing position on the northwest corner of the site. Townhouses are arranged in two modestly scaled adjacent structures, one fronting 8 Street SE with the second accessed through a landscaped courtyard along 17 Avenue SE. Further into the site, the courtyard is held between the three structures, providing residents with enhanced privacy, texture and colour.

This thoughtful development aims to contribute to the existing form and character of Ramsay, while providing high quality housing and commercial space to a previously under-utilized site.
