The vision

As part of the Peel Community Housing Development Program, Basswood Senior Residences includes the development, design, and construction of 1 new residential 10-storey tower at the site for a total of 198 new affordable rental units. 

This building will contribute to the Seniors Health and Wellness Village concept currently being developed by Peel Region that will include a long-term care centre, service hub for seniors, and Adult Day Services programs.

The old Peel Manor Long Term Care at 527 Main Street, Brampton has been redeveloped and moved to 525 Main Street. The old site will be the home of the new seniors rental building.

The Seniors Health and Wellness Village at Peel Manor is the heart of a vibrant, thriving neighbourhood that enhances the quality of life and supports the well-being of those who live and work in the village, and the surrounding community.

Partnering with Enbridge, a coalition of sustainable building specialists, and our consulting team, we participated in a comprehensive day-long Savings by Design Affordable Housing Program. Our aim was to explore the most effective strategies to attain our net-zero emissions objective while guaranteeing resident comfort, well-being, and sustainable, cost-effective operations for the region in the long term.

Basswood Senior Residences will be 100% barrier free and will meet Peel’s energy efficiency targets.
