5 Rutherford Road South

The building

5 Rutherford Road South is in Ward 3 in Brampton and is near:

• Grocery stores and restaurants
• Medical clinics and banks
• Brampton transit

The vision

Since 1984, 5 Rutherford Road South has operated as a 2-storey hotel. This project involves converting the existing commercial hotel to affordable rental housing.

This conversion is anticipated for construction completion in 2023.

This project will create 67 affordable housing units, including 50 rental units and 17 transitional housing units for youth ages 16 to 24. Youth transitional housing is a need identified in the Peel Housing and Homelessness Plan.

5 Rutherford Road South is centrally located on a major transit corridor near amenities, services, and employment opportunities. This project will contribute towards addressing Brampton’s demonstrated need for housing supports and help close the gap for affordable rental housing.

We are committed to creating healthy living spaces. Once complete, 5 Rutherford Road South will have:

• Outdoor amenity spaces for all tenants.
• Indoor program space with services and supports for youth transitional housing tenants.
