Residents are moving in to 717 Broadview, a comprehensively renovated seniors building owned by
Toronto Community Housing.
Originally slated for a December opening, the $10-million
renovation and redesign has taken a 1970s building with 200 small rooms and transformed it into a 69-unit apartment building. The overhaul also turned part of the rear parking lot into a community garden.
In addition to being a more livable space for seniors in need of assisted housing, the new building is expected have its energy needs reduced by between 25 and 40 per cent.
Woodgreen Community Services will also be running programs out of the refurbished building's first floor.
