Welcome to the Bechtel EngageWR page! Thank you for your interest in this innovative affordable housing project planned for the Bechtel c ommunity in Cambridge.
The project slated for 127-161 Bechtel will be the first in Cambridge to house smaller, more energy-efficient and cost-effective affordable homes.
Visit and subscribe to this page to receive project updates and for opportunities to give feedback. Your involvement will ensure these homes are designed in a way that fits well in your community’s space.
The Region will start working on this project in August, asking builders to propose different types of alternative housing. Options include tiny homes, container homes, or modular homes with one or more bedrooms. See the "Key Dates" section for more details on the process.
We will look to you for feedback on things like green space, green building features, and design features. Ensuring that we develop this space in a way that works for the whole Bechtel community is really important.
This project will make a huge difference in the lives of many people waiting for an affordable home. It is urgently needed and is supported by the City of Cambridge and the Region of Waterloo.
We look forward to working with you on this exciting development.

The developer of the alternative housing project coming to 127-161 Bechtel Street, NOW Housing, recently held two neighbourhood meetings to showcase some of their ideas for the property. During these meetings there was an opportunity to provide feedback on things like what the homes looks like and how the greenspace will be designed. If you were unable to attend the meetings but would like to provide feedback please fill out the survey below. The survey questions are the same ones that were asked in the neighbourhood meetings.
A video recording of one of the neighbourhood meetings is available at the following link: Bechtel St. Neighbourhood meeting, Dec 17, 7-8pm The video provides background and details that are useful for answering the survey questions.
We look forward to hearing your feedback and questions around how these new homes will enhance your neighbourhood and the broader community.
