Today, Mayor Olivia Chow, Salma Zahid, Member of Parliament for Scarborough Centre—Don Valley East, Councillor Michael Thompson (Scarborough Centre) and City of Toronto staff to break ground on Canada’s largest co-op housing development in a generation.
About Kennedy Green
This development, on City-owned land adjacent to Kennedy GO and TTC Station, will deliver a total of 612 new homes including affordable and market rent-controlled co-operative homes. Funding for the project is provided by the federal government, through the Co-operative Housing Development Program and by the City.
Kennedy Green located at 2444 Eglinton Ave. E., formerly a commuter parking lot, is being developed through a partnership between the City, CreateTO and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto. Civic Developments and its partners are providing development management services.
This site is one of almost 100 City-owned sites that are either housing-ready or may be unlocked for new housing. Kennedy Green will consist of two co-op buildings with a mix of studios, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom apartments.
Kennedy Green is a prime example of the City’s commitment to speed up approval times to get more affordable housing built. Thanks to the collaboration between CreateTO, the City and the developer group, this project’s application for re-zoning was approved in just sixty-nine days.
Award winning design
The all-Canadian design team behind Kennedy Green includes Vancouver-based Henriquez Partners Architects and Montreal-based landscape architects CCxA. The project has been recognized internationally receiving design accolades including a Future Homes Award for Mixed-Use Buildings and the 2025 Green Good Design Award for Green Architecture.
With a geothermal energy system, the building will support the City’s climate action objectives and achieve Toronto Green Standard Version 4, Tier 2. Kennedy Green is also being delivered under the One Planet Living Framework – a first for Toronto – to promote sustainable living. The site will also offer 474 square metres of community space as well as 332 square metres of retail space.
This project is contributing to the City’s HousingTO Plan target to deliver 65,000 new rent-controlled homes including 41,000 affordable rental, 6,500 rent-geared-to-income (RGI) and 17,500 rent-controlled homes by 2030. More information is available on the City’s website.
