Swansea Mews

This page provides ongoing updates about the Swansea Mews revitalization. For information about the 2022 incident that occurred, please see the timeline on this archived page.

Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) is actively collaborating with the City of Toronto to start the Initial Development Proposal (IDP) process for Swansea Mews. This process is required for all new TCHC redevelopment projects and is the first formal step in creating a comprehensive revitalization plan for the community. 

The IDP creates the potential to increase density in a smart and responsible way. It’s an opportunity to build net-new homes in order to increase the overall housing supply in Toronto. The proposal further outlines how the project will meet city building goals, including an overview of the redevelopment potential and preliminary guiding principles. It will also highlight future community engagement initiatives, next steps, and funding needs. The IDP report should go to City Council in late-2024.

Following Council approval, TCHC will launch a detailed community engagement process. This is essential to the redevelopment plan for Swansea Mews. It reflects the community’s needs and supports an Official Plan Amendment and rezoning application. We expect this work will start in 2025.

Progress is ongoing, and we remain committed to keeping residents informed and involved. Swansea Mews was recently discussed at TCHC’s Building Investment, Finance and Audit Committee meeting (September 2024), which can be viewed on Youtube.
