Located just west of Church Street in the east downtown, 60 Richmond will be a mix of residential and commercial use. The 11-storey building will have 85 units of housing in the upper floors and approximately 3,000 square feet of commercial space on the ground floor.

The building will contain one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom units - 59 of them designated as Regent Park replacement housing and the remainder as affordable rental.

Demolition has started and occupancy is scheduled for end 2008. Teeple Architects has been retained to design the new building.

The project is being designed to LEED^TM standards.
