Affordable Housing Development

 

  • PUCF is pleased to be approved in December as an “official” Open Doors development at Toronto Council meeting.
  •  PUCF just submitted applications for Official Plan Amendment (OPA) and Zoning Bylaw Amendment (ZBA) to facilitate the development of a 10 storey affordable infill apartment building.
  • The submitted plans are in line with the concept presented to the community in June 2022 and include revisions (removal of Mews Housing on the parking lot) further to changes in funding availability and a refining of design approach.

About the Site

  • Currently 146 apartments are on premises, mostly bachelor units with average rent below $700 without government subsidies.

  • Continuing over four decades of service in the community , through the proposed infill development PUCF is addressing the evolving need for affordable housing in the South Parkdale neighborhood.

  • PUCF is proposing to demolish 1337 and 1339 King Street West to develop new affordable rental housing and will retain the existing apartment building at 1355 King Street West.

  • Building on the success of the Green Phoenix project, PUCF’s new development reflects a strong commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible community building
