This is the property in question:
and the (huge!) replacement building
This one had federal / provincial support and due to the use of student housing went straight to permitting - no studies required (for better or for worse)

i’m usually a fan of recent mid-rise buildings in Toronto but this one…woof.
21 storeys so not really a mid-rise as much as it is a very fat tower! This site falls under the hospital helicopter flight paths in Toronto so buildings are much shorter in these areas

Construction begins on major co-op development in Scarborough
Toronto is breaking ground on a new transit-oriented co-op development at 2444 Eglinton Ave. E. Kennedy Green will feature over 600 homes, making it one of the largest affordable housing projects in Ontario in the past 25 years.
Some more info on this one from the architects:

In some ways you could see this as a metallic version of 900 Saint-Jacques! Very cool!
Un article de la BBC sur la perte de popularité de micro condos à Toronto
But - as Canada’s condominium market sinks to lows not seen in decades due to a series of market pressures - the value of these micro units is cratering faster than any others.
The condo market is experiencing a downturn not seen since the 1980s, with thousands of move-in-ready units sitting empty and unsold across Toronto and its surrounding regions. Over the last year, an unprecedented 18 condo projects were cancelled in the city, with experts expecting that number will grow as demand continues to plummet.
The downturn has reignited debate over whether developers catered too much to real estate investors by building smaller, more affordable units that minimised square footage to keep prices low in areas where land values are high, and which were often designed to be rented out or flipped for profit.
Investors own the majority of condos under 600 sq ft in Toronto, according to national database Statistics Canada. Construction of these small units skyrocketed in 2016, and they now make up 38% of condos built in the city, compared with only 7.7% before.
Je me demande comment l’élimination progressif du télétravail, surtout en Ontario (finances et gouvernemental), va affecter -ou pas- ce type de logement.
Bien sûr le marché dépend aussi des étudiants, que la politique d’immigration est en train de restreindre la manne d’étudiants étrangers, et la prémisse que le marché immobilier augmentera toujours de valeur, mais le télétravail avait aussi un effet négatif, qu’on est en train de mitiger.
Très cool comme projet

J’ai eu un congé d’hiver un peu mouvementé à cause de ma santé, donc j’ai peu publié sur le forum dans les dernières semaines. Voici donc des photos de mon séjour à Toronto…
J’espère que la santé va mieux maintenant ![]()
