Plans for 19-storey, affordable housing for young adults introduced


Elm Ridge Drive building to offer those with developmental problems services in framework of Jewish culture


A project to build a highrise on Elm Ridge Drive to provide affordable housing for young adults with developmental disabilities was presented to the community during a virtual “conversation” on April 6.

The call for a 19-storey tower is at an early stage of the planning process for a project Eglinton-Lawrence councillor Mike Colle called “a critical service that our community needs, that our city needs.”

The building is to be at 155–165 Elm Ridge Dr. near Allen Road and Eglinton Avenue West, in the North Fairbank neighbourhood, close to Forest Hill North.

---------
The building on Elm Ridge would consist of rental units only, with 24/7 onsite supervision and offering various levels of support as needed by residents, organizers said.

Planning and development lawyer Adam Brown told the meeting the 19-storey building fits the area, “designated an apartment neighbourhood.”

He called it “an elegant design, a high-quality design.”

--------
The project is budgeted at $60 million, though this figure could rise depending upon how long it takes, he said.

The building is likely to open as long as four years from now, taking up to two years before shovels are in the ground and the same amount of time for construction, Keshen said.

Most revenue for the project is expected to come from tenants’ rents, with about 20 per cent of the cost being raised in the community, and some being contributed by government.
