McQuesten Lofts

The world is better with @indwell.ca tenants in it. Those who live there today and those to come. ❤️ ...

This morning we’re in St. Thomas for the Grand Opening of The Station in St. Thomas! It’s a unique building that is both fire hall and 45 affordable apartments. Looks like it is going to be a beautiful day! ...

We were at the City of Mississauga Urban Design Awards tonight. Each of the nominated projects were well presented on backlit displays throughout the large room of this historic building. Our Lakeshore Lofts project didn’t win this time, but it was great to hear about the new parks, public art, and other facilities that are making Ontario’s third largest city a better place to live and work. ...

@indwell.ca `s latest supportive housing project in St. Thomas, The Station, partnered with the municipality to build a single-bay firehall on the ground floor which is needed for future development on the west end of town. Designed to meet Passive House standards, this is the second affordable housing + fire hall that we are aware of in Canada, the first being fire station No. 5 which partnered with the YWCA in Vancouver.

The fire hall still needs to be fit out in the coming year, but the residential portion is already at almost full occupancy a month after opening. We are thankful for the talented photography of the site by Industryous Photography. #AffordableHousing #mixedusedevelopment #passivehouse #canadiandesign #firehall #urbaninfill ...

The much-needed women’s drop in centre, Carole Anne’s Place, at the downtown @ywcahamilton opened earlier this week.
Located in what was the large pool room and changing areas and accessed off Jackson St., this bright new space will support 25 women in the overnight stay and many more in the day program (it is open from 10pm-1pm each day). The highlight of the space is the phenomenal murals by local artist Kayla Whitney (follow her on Instagram at @koe.design).
It’s open to women and gender diverse people. There are wrap around services offered on site, like harm reduction, health services (nurses, and doctor at the clinic), & housing. YWCA Hamilton strengthens women’s and girls’ voices, broadens their choices, builds dynamic leadership, and provides essential and meaningful services that promote safe, inclusive, and equitable communities. We are so delighted to be able to work with the YW in their pursuit of creating a more equitable Hamilton for women and girls! ...

Nidhi passed her Canada 🇨🇦 Canada 🍁 citizenship exam the other day and we thought that was a fantastic reason to celebrate with a Friday BBQ. #tailgating #bbq #canadiana #architectslife ...
