Revised Plan Ups Affordable Housing Building Height Beside CityPlace
AI Article Summary
Toronto Community Housing Corporation has submitted a revised proposal for a 37-storey mixed-use affordable housing building at 150 Queens Wharf Road, replacing the previous plan for a 29-storey tower. Designed by Karakusevic Carson Architects and Teeple Architects, the new plan maintains 134 affordable rental units. The proposal features larger family-sized units but a reduced total number of units. The revised design includes a podium and significant indoor and outdoor amenity spaces.
What This Means for Canadian Contractors
This project shows how shifting market conditions and updated government housing programs can drive design changes such as increased building heights and adjustments to unit layouts. For Canadian builders, this means staying informed about policy updates that may influence project specifications and timelines. Engaging with architects and urban planners early can help adapt to these evolving demands effectively.
