Vision
Kennedy Co-ops aims to foster a lively community and seeks to strike a delicate balance between one of Toronto’s most bustling transit hubs and a serene network of meadow pathways.
Development History
From parking lot to precedent: Kennedy Green is building a sustainable future for co-op housing.
Massing Strategy
Elevating residential towers on a green podium with above grade-level parking to lift residents out of the noisy surroundings and create a serene, garden-oriented community.
Public Realm
Kennedy Co-ops aims to foster a lively community and seeks to strike a delicate balance between one of Toronto’s most bustling transit hubs and a serene network of meadow pathways.
Housing Co-Op
Kennedy Green will deliver 612 permanently affordable, rent-controlled homes where residents are not tenants but member-owners who collectively govern their community through an elected board of directors, with housing charges set to cover operating costs rather than market fluctuations.
Sustainability and Big Moves
Kennedy Green is the city’s first project to apply the holistic One Planet Living framework and will utilize a large-scale geothermal energy system to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while its transit-oriented location and use of low-carbon materials further minimize its environmental footprint.
Transit Terminus Hub
The most convenient transit access for those seeking outer city living with timely connectivity to the urban center.
Ground Plane: The 3 Paths
The site can be accessed from Eglinton, the hydro corridor or Kennedy Station.
2 Towers and a Mid-Rise
The project consists of three unique buildings, situated on just under three acres. The above-grade parking levels are strategically aligned with the Eglinton Avenue East overpass, while retail spaces dot the ground plane to animate the site and help to engage commuters.
