A new cohousing development is in the works right here in Ontario. Located in Guelph’s Exhibition Park neighbourhood, this cohousing project is set to become Ontario’s second cohousing community. Dubbed Watershed Cohousing, this project will convert the property on the corner of Woolwich St and Mont St into a 6-unit community with a focus on sustainability.
Toronto has a housing crisis. That’s apparent and we’ve been talking about it for a while now. There’s plenty of creative solutions that we need to implement to combat this crisis and create a city that is affordable with high quality housing. We need to look towards the future and by that we mean we need to think about sustainability. Many of Toronto’s housing stock is dated and not built to function in an eco-friendly way. But there is a movement beginning in the housing market. Old and tired Toronto homes are starting to be revamped and transformed into housing that is environmentally friendly and modern. Today, we’re going to talk about two of these homes in Brockton Village that have been transformed from old and tired traditional family homes into eco-minded three-unit buildings.
Located in the neighbourhood of Winston Heights lies Prairie Sky is Calgary’s only cohousing community. The community was originally built in 2003 and houses 18 different units. The residents of Prairie Sky proudly base their principles and community foundation in respect, sustainability and commitment.
It’s January of the new year. While there are many things to be optimistic and hopeful about, from a real estate perspective, January is a tough month. Things are slow, supply is even more scarce and things can seem helpless. But that’s just January. Coupled with the state of the market in Toronto, things can seem bad but don’t fret too much. Plenty of good things are on the way.
We’re back again with another property feature on our blog! 2374 Gerrard St E is a multi-unit property that is currently being built.
