As Toronto continues to grapple with a persistent shortage of purpose-built rental supply, a significant new project is taking shape in the Garden District. The Hoem Garden District student residence, a 21-storey development by MPI Group and HOEM Management Inc., has officially reached 18 storeys, with exterior cladding now underway. Designed by Superk\u00fcl, the project creatively blends modern density with history, incorporating a restored late-19th-century heritage house at 300 Sherbourne Street. Once completed, the tower will add 173 dedicated rental units to the city\u2019s student housing stock, helping to alleviate some of the intense pressure on the downtown rental market. With the structure nearing its final height of 71.04m, this development serves as a key example of how infill construction can revitalize older neighbourhoods while addressing critical housing needs.
