Q: Given the situation currently in communal living for seniors there needs to be better co-housing opportunities with community support for this population cohort. Has your proposal taken the needs of aging seniors with co-housing opportunities into consideration?
A: We hope that the building will support people in different stages of their lives and with different mobility needs. We will be working through the design details at the Site Plan Application phase of the redevelopment, which will follow the phase of design development that we are currently in (the Rezoning and Official Plan Amendment phase) which focuses on land use, height and general massing. That said, this will not be a co-housing development which has different requirements and set of criteria. There are several co-housing groups in Ontario and across Canada. We encourage you to visit www.cohousing.ca.

Q: Will public art be incorporated on site?
A: We too are advocates for public art and the arts community. Among other initiatives, we recently completed the adaptive reuse of the 10 storey heritage building at 158 Sterling Road in Toronto. We grounded the building with arts and culture. Our tenants include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto Biennial of Art, the Akin Studio Program, which provides space for twenty artist studios, and other creative businesses in the tech and design industries. Currently, our project is at the OPA and Rezoning stage (which is focused on built form massing and height), but when we get to the Site Plan application stage we will delve into the design details including opportunities for the incorporation of public art. We would be delighted to engage in conversation with you and other community members on public art at that time.
