South Hill station will feature a transit plaza, and will become the centrepiece of new mixed-use transit oriented development village. Much of the South Hill area is city-owned, which provides a unique opportunity for development on almost 20 acres of largely vacant land, though a factory and several mobile homes are currently set up in the area. Additionally, the station will be a major transit hub with connections to neighbouring residential and commercial communities. Utility relocation, land preparation and environmental redemption work have been underway since 2017.[2]
