877 Yonge St (St Clare's, affordable housing)

Tapestry Opera And Nightwood Theatre Team Up To Build New Performance Space
https://www.ludwig-van.com/toronto/...ood-theatre-team-build-new-performance-space/

"Both companies were forced to make an early exit from their home at the Ernest Balmer Studio in the Distillery District. It’s just one example of how a rising real estate market has wreaked havoc with many spaces that were formerly devoted to the arts. The new venue will be developed at 877 Yonge Street.

The move from the Distillery District, where an arts community had been built over two decades, was a significant blow. However, the new facility, a short distance north of Yonge and Bloor streets, will create another community that includes a partnership with St. Clare’s, an affordable housing organization."

UPDATE : "Staff were onsite to mop and vacuum water from 5 units affected by sprinkler water, and to make collaborative short term arrangements for accommodation and related needs as identified by the tenants. Shout out to the staff and tenant community for their fast and caring responses..."

Yes, it is a great space - it took a lot of intergovernmental supports to get the "Theatre in the Basement" approved and funded via the different Not-for-Profits.

It was one of our stops when we toured the entire 877 YONGE building with Ontario Housing Minister Paul Calandra a few months ago -
