Erin Ridge, one of St. Albert's newer developments, approached capacity in the 2000s, prompting additional annexation on the northern side of the city. That expansion gave rise to Erin Ridge North, a small but growing neighbourhood perched on St. Albert's northernmost tip. From the start, this community was designed with intention, placing a strong focus on accessible commercial services and energy-efficient residential homes that reflect the values of the people who choose to live here.
