Nissen Crossing

It was OMAHS' dream, lead by our long time president, Mr. Larry Nissen, to erect affordable housing adjacent to our current townhouses at 115 Gerstmar Road.  Larry was a tenant at 115 Gerstmar  many years before he became the president of OMAHS.  After living in the complex, he became an advocate for affordable housing throughout BC.  As such, Nissen Crossing will be remembered as Larry's legacy.

Nissen Crossing contains bachelors, one and two bedroom units.  These units will be offered at or slightly below then current market rents.  Of those, only nine 2 bedroom unit are subsidized.  .

The OMAHS office is now located in the Nissen Crossing Apartments at 150 Kneller Road.

Nissen Crossing Rents: 

One bedroom  $935 to $1,050
