Currently under construction, 5207 Dundas Street West is one of the first projects realized by Toronto’s Housing Now initiative, which challenges the design and development community to provide urgently needed affordable housing. Once completed, the 800,000 ft2 project, with Tricon Residential and Kilmer Group, will deliver 507 market rental units and 218 purpose-built affordable rental units .

This transit-oriented community builds density where existing infrastructure can support significant growth, and improves an underutilized urban site. Two towers emerge from a mid-rise podium, marking the key corners of the site. A tranquil courtyard is framed by the mid-rise podium and creates a quiet refuge from the busy city and adjacent railway.
