Located at the nexus of a major Scarborough transit hub and a unique swath of city parkland, we’re reimagining what a truly mixed housing community will look like, at a grand scale. 2444 Eglinton Ave East will feature more than 900 new homes, demonstrating how diverse housing types can flourish in an evolving, amenity-rich neighbourhood.
It’s time to envision new possibilities for what progressive housing can look like in Toronto.
✱ About the Project
One of the biggest challenges facing Toronto today is a distinct lack of affordable, environmentally sustainable, transit-connected housing for people across a diverse range of incomes.
In other words, truly mixed-income communities. 2444 Eglinton is a part of the solution to that problem. The project offers a mix of market, co-op and affordable housing that does not sacrifice design, quality or sustainability standards. It’s a bold solution for urban housing made possible by a pioneering partnership between the public, private and non-profit sectors.
The City of Toronto owns the land, Civic Developments and Windmill Developments are developing the site, and the Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto will operate the non-profit co-op.
This is thoughtfully designed, quality housing that diversifies the city’s available offerings and caters to differing socioeconomic, income and generational needs. Steps away from three transit lines and a spectacular public park, The Meadoway, 2444 Eglinton will enable residents to live, work, and play all while minimizing their ecological impact.

2444 Eglinton will be comprised of a high-rise market condominium, and two non-profit co-op buildings featuring affordable and market rental units in equal proportion.
What is a non-profit housing co-op? It’s a form of housing that is operated by the residents — who are called members, not tenants. The members elect other members to a board, who determine when rent increases are needed to cover true operating costs, not profit margins, which ensures the housing remains affordable over the long term.
Rents for the affordable units will be set between 40 and 100% of Average Market Rent as reported annually by the Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation, making them affordable to people across varying income levels. The project will include a significant percentage of units that are accessible in accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.
