The City of Toronto's Affordable Housing Committee at their April 17, 2007 meeting approved St. Clare's proposal to develop 82 units of mixed-income affordable housing at 200 Madison. This project is primarily family housing: over half the apartments are two- three- and four-bedroom units.

200 Madison Ave.

The design will facilitate the development of a safe stable community. We plan to build two medium-rise buildings: one on the east and the other on the west side of the site that will be linked at the north and south ends by walkways. The front doors of all the apartments open onto a courtyard between the buildings. The three bedrooms and four-bedroom units are two-storey stacked townhouses. The remaining apartments are accessed from exterior walkways that overlook the courtyard. The design will reinforce community interaction and promote security by having many eyes on the project's public areas.

The western building will be four stories high. The eastern building will have six stories of apartments. The management office and amenity space are located on the roof level of the western building.

The project will be built to the Green Development Standards developed by the City of Toronto, which is equal to LEED Silver. We expect that the building will be 30% more energy efficient than a similar building built to the standards of the building code. The buildings will have a green roof.

We have rezoned the site and expect to start construction in the fall of 2011. The project will be completed by the spring of 2013.
