Mirvish Village continues its commitment to 100% purpose built rental, including a large portion of 2 and 3 bedroom units appropriate for young families. This represents a significant contribution to the health of the City’s housing market, responding to the critical shortage of rental housing.
We anticipate working with the City to secure an appropriate portion of these units as affordable and/or mid-range rental housing as part of the project’s community benefits.
The vast majority of Toronto’s rental stock is either in worn buildings or in temporary sublets of newer condos. With over 800 units, an unprecedented amount of rental housing will be provided in one development.The project will be an inclusive community, providing a range of housing types catering to Toronto’s diversity, including families and people of all ages.
Building on Ed Mirvish’s legacy, Mirvish Village will include small studio spaces and live/work units to accommodate artists and small business entrepreneurs. The revised proposal’s inclusion of an on-site park with opportunities for play, and enhanced daycare with an outdoor play area at grade on the west side of Markham further enhance opportunities to support urban living for families at the edge of the Downtown.
