Kennedy Green marks a transformative chapter in Toronto’s housing landscape as the largest co-op housing endeavor in over a decade. The transit-oriented development will deliver over 900 homes with an equal mix of co-op market rentals, co-op affordable rental units, and condominiums. These seamlessly integrated structures share a podium, surrounded by park spaces and community gardens.
Situated on a challenging triangular site of 1.16 hectares, framed by Eglinton Avenue, a rail line, and a hydro corridor—the development is steps away from one of the Greater Toronto Area’s busiest transit nodes. Inspired by the contrast between the city’s intensity and nearby greenspace, a vegetative blanket pulls up from the hydro corridor, creating a peaceful outdoor space that softens the urban surroundings. The project’s façade features a dynamic array of colour-stained precast panels with colours inspired by Ontario flint corn. The residential towers float gracefully above the building podium.
Kennedy Green sets a precedent for future developments, creating a dense, livable community where residents can thrive economically, socially, and environmentally in Toronto’s evolving urban landscape.
