What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how Canadian cities like Toronto are prioritizing mixed-income housing through redeveloping city-owned land. For Canadian builders, this means focusing on integrating affordable housing within urban projects, which may require tailored approaches to design and construction. Moreover, the emphasis on increased amenities and public realm improvements highlights the need for collaboration with city planners to align with public policy objectives.
