Welcome to 130 Augusta Avenue

Earlier this year, Toronto Community Housing (TCHC) held a grand opening event at 130 Augusta Avenue—the new Atkinson Co-operative building. Built with developer partner Tridel, this building was constructed as part of TCHC’s ongoing revitalization of Alexandra Park.

Right at the corner of Augusta and Dundas, the building at 130 Augusta has 103 units. This includes 99 replacement Rent-Geared-to-Income units and four net-new affordable rental housing units. 

In February, TCHC officially opened the building with Tridel. Mayor Olivia Chow, Councillor Ausma Malik, and Member of Provincial Parliament Chris Glover were also in attendance to mark the milestone. 

Later that week, TCHC hosted a community open house. Residents of the Alexandra Park community could walk through the building and check out the amenity space, community kitchen, a fully accessible unit, and a three-bedroom staged suite.

“They’re all beautifully designed,” said Dianne Williams after touring the spaces. Dianne has lived in Alexandra Park for 32 years, and the community means a lot to her. “Words can’t describe how I’m feeling right now,” she said. 

Fellow community member, Alban Olive, shared his excitement as well. “Walking through the building, it makes me feel energetic,” he said. “It makes me feel that we have achieved our goal as residents of the community.” 

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate this event!
