Big changes have come to Don Mount Court!

Don Mount Court is located near the Don Valley Parkway and Dundas Street East. Over the years, this housing complex became an isolated enclave, cut off from public roadways and conveniences. It is home to 232 households.

Toronto Community Housing is leading an exciting redevelopment that is transforming the aging, downtown housing site into a mixed-income, mixed-use community that connects with the fabric of its surrounding neighbourhoods.

Don Mount Court is the first redevelopment of social housing in Canada to reintegrate social housing with the surrounding neighbourhood and create a mixed income community with market condominiums.

The Don Mount Court Plan is an ambitious initiative that began in 2002 when Toronto Community Housing set up the Don Mount Court Development Corporation (DMCDC) to oversee redevelopment plans. TCHC's developer partner for this plan is a joint venture of Marion Hill Development Corp. and Intracorp Developments Inc.

A true community-based endeavour, the planning process for redevelopment involved neighbourhood and tenant advisory committees that met over 20 times each to provide local input to the plans. There were also a number of community open forums which helped to balance the demands on the site.

The approved plan knits social housing back into the fabric of the surrounding community. All original 232 rent-geared-to-income units will be replaced with in stacked townhouses and a low-rise apartment building. In addition, 187 market-ownership condominium townhouses will be built and sold under the Rivertowne emblem. The result will be a mixed-income, mixed-use neighbourhood that is reintegrated with surrounding communities. A new neighbourhood park will be built to expand the Joel Weeks Parkette into a two-acre community-designed facility.

Currently, Phase One is under construction with 138 rental units and 187 for-sale units. Occupancy is scheduled to start in 2008. Construction of Phase Two with 94 rental units will start in early 2008.
