Fact Sheet: Adanac Apartments Capital Repairs
Toronto Community Housing will invest $5.7 million at the Adanac Apartments (140 Adanac Dr.) to improve living conditions, accessibility, energy efficiency and comfort for the more than 300 tenants who live in the building.
The project, part of Toronto Community Housing's 10-year capital repair plan, will repair the building's exterior and replace windows and balconies to eliminate leaking, greatly improve energy efficiency, and significantly enhance tenant comfort.
The project will make accessibility improvements both within units and in the building's entrances and common rooms. The vestibule, lobby, common areas, and laundry rooms will be redesigned to meet accessibility standards.
The project will also deliver the following energy-efficiency retrofits:
- Replace building heating/ cooling systems, equipment and associated sub‐components to improve ventilation and air quality
- Upgrade windows and exterior doors
- Upgrade plumbing fixtures
- Upgrade lighting systems, including converting to light‐emitting diode (LED) lighting systems, lighting controls, and sensors
- Upgrade, repair and remediate building envelope and balconies.
Work will begin in 2019 and is expected to be completed in 2021.
