The development of a 2.88-acre site at 2444 Eglinton Avenue East in Scarborough, is located across from Kennedy Station and in close proximity to Kennedy GO Station and the future Eglinton Crosstown LRT. The development includes three towers of 31 storeys, 19-storeys, and a 41 storey co-op building with a shared three-storey podium. Two-thirds (or 612) of the 918 residential units will be comprised of rent-geared-to-income (RGI), affordable and market rental co-op housing. The co-op will provide long-term rental housing that will be owned and operated by residents on a non-profit basis. The remaining 306 units will be market condominiums. The site will also offer 3,580 square feet of community space as well as 12,770 square feet of retail space.
