Ontario, Toronto, and Habitat for Humanity Partner to Build 33 Modular Homes

Ontario is partnering with the City of Toronto and Habitat for Humanity Greater Toronto Area (GTA) to build 33 modular homes in a six-story condominium on a surplus site identified under the Ontario-Toronto New Deal.

The project is part of the province’s push to expand modular homebuilding and increase attainable ownership options. Ontario is investing CA$10 million in the project.

“Ontario is continuing to take action to build more homes faster and help people find a home that meets their needs and their budgets,” said Rob Flack, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “This innovative project will help drive forward our plans to support Ontario’s modular homebuilding industry and make use of surplus government lands to get more shovels in the ground.”

Home prices will be set to be attainable for households in the 60th–70th income percentiles in Toronto.

“Homes need to be more affordable,” said Olivia Chow, Mayor of Toronto. “That is why the City is investing more than $4.8 million to build 33 modular homes and keep expanding affordable housing across Toronto.”

Preparations are underway at the site. Sales are expected to begin early next year, with occupancy by mid-2027. Habitat for Humanity GTA will review applications, determine eligibility, and administer sales.
