The Banff YWCA Affordable Residential Development is a three-storey multi-family building located within the existing YWCA Banff campus. It provides a total of 33 units, five of which are barrier-free. A unique construction type, the project has been built using 62 shipping containers, steel construction, and wood-frame construction.

This project is designed to meet NetZero energy performance and shadows WELL standards. The NetZero performance was achieved through a combination of a robust building envelope design, efficient mechanical systems that incorporate heat recovery, efficient electrical design (including LED lighting throughout), and integration of photovoltaic panels on the roof.
