Non-profit housing tower in Etobicoke stalled over ‘employment lands’ conflict

by Shane Dingman

Renderings of the development proposed for a plot of land in Etobicoke. The project would consist of four condo towers containing 1,819 apartments. One of those towers, with 342 apartments, would be conveyed to the not-for-profit Community Affordable Housing Solutions group.

A planning application proposing one of the largest privately owned affordable-housing developments in Toronto has been stalled amid differences between provincial and city policies on converting land once zoned for industrial and commercial use to residential.

The proposal filed in late 2024 seeks to turn a plot of land in Etobicoke into four condo towers containing 1,819 apartments. If approval is given, one of those towers, with 342 apartments, would be conveyed to the not-for-profit Community Affordable Housing Solutions (CAHS) group, which combines members from affordable housing organizations such as Habitat for Humanity GTA and St. Clare’s Multifaith Housing Society.
