A proposed affordable housing development at 1337-1355 King Street West aims to address Parkdale’s need for affordable housing. The project, led by Parkdale United Church Foundation (PUCF), plans a 10-storey building with 92 affordable rental units. The development, supported by Gladki Planning Associates, intends to harmonize with the neighborhood while meeting changing housing needs. Existing buildings like Phoenix Place Apartments will remain, while Shalom House will be replaced, with tenants relocated prior to demolition.
The project aligns with Toronto’s Open Doors affordable housing initiative and HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan. PUCF, established in 1973, continues its mission to tackle housing challenges in Parkdale. This development offers a promising solution for residents concerned about excessive condo developments.
