Maple House: A Public/Private Model for Delivering Mixed-Income Communities Where All Resident Thrive

Maple House at Canary Landing is the inaugural phase of Canada's largest and most ambitious residential development. This 12-acre, 2,500-unit, purpose-built rental community transforms a once-industrial site into a vibrant community hub, prioritizing sustainability, affordability, and inclusivity. Designed by the acclaimed Danish architecture firm COBE, in partnership with local architects—Alliance, Maple House is a mixed-use development featuring thoughtfully designed residential spaces alongside a revitalized public realm. The new plaza boasts pedestrian paths, vibrant local stores, cozy cafés, and lively restaurants, fostering a dynamic and engaging community atmosphere. Maple House integrates market and affordable units—both finished to the same high standards—throughout the building, serving as a socioeconomic catalyst in the heart of Toronto. The 40,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenity spaces include a state-of-the-art gym, an outdoor pool with city views, coworking spaces, children's playrooms, a music studio, and a dog spa. These programmed areas are joined by multiple outdoor terraces for al fresco dining and are activated with events that cultivate a true sense of community. Market-rate and affordable-housing residents, from City of Toronto Open Market Call, Woodgreen, Wigwamen, Interval House, Artscape, Performing Arts Lodge, March of Dimes, and COSTI, all live in a complete community and thrive together.
