Project Overview

In 2021, City Council directed CreateTO alongside staff from City Planning, Parks and Recreation, Social Development Finance and Administration, and Toronto Parking Authority to undertake a feasibility study repurposing 9 Shortt Street as a community service hub and affordable housing development, while maintaining current parking levels.

In 2023, CreateTO engaged architectural services for 9 Shortt Street, which progressed towards a zoning submission.

This project aligns with CreateTO's strategic plan to leverage City-owned properties for public benefit, including the development of affordable housing and community space.
