Midtown Toronto is set to welcome a significant new addition to its rental market at 275 Merton Street. A partnership between Collecdev-Markee Developments and CreateTO is transforming a former city-owned site into a 40-storey purpose-built rental tower. Designed by the renowned architecture firm gh3, the project will deliver 494 new rental homes, with a vital commitment to affordability—148 of these units are designated as affordable housing, directly supporting the City’s HousingTO 2020–2030 Action Plan.
The development features a mix of unit sizes, from studios to three-bedroom layouts, alongside unique amenities like a ‘Garden Workshop’ and co-working spaces. Beyond housing, the site will enhance the local public realm with a new pedestrian connection to the Kay Gardiner Beltline Trail. With demolition complete and site preparation underway, this project represents a strategic model for leveraging public land to boost housing supply.
