The Platinum Corridor®
The Platinum Corridor® has the potential to be a highly sustainable, world-class, transit-oriented, pedestrian-based development. Committed to an ethos of inclusion and humanity, it offers the prospect of a vibrant urban community of innovation. It seeks to engage and intersect with the surrounding residential communities, businesses, schools and universities, to create local jobs, and attract organizations hungry for innovation and talent.
