Working Together to Bring the Vision of the Community to Life

About Regent Park Phases 4 & 5

Toronto Community Housing (TCHC), the lead developer and owner of Regent Park Phases 4 & 5, engaged in a Request for Proposal process to select a developer partner for the final two phases of the Regent Park revitalization. Tridel was selected as the successful developer with a plan that provides outstanding value for the physical and social transformation of Regent Park. Tridel’s commitment includes a social and economic development program valued at $26.8 million that will benefit the tenants and residents of Regent Park. The program will be shaped by regular, frequent, and direct input from the community on their priorities.

The Rezoning Application Process

TCHC and Tridel submitted a rezoning application to the City of Toronto on April 14. There are several steps to the rezoning application approval process, and opportunities for the community to have their say at key stages along the way – from point of submission, to returned feedback and resubmission, and before finalizing the rezoning application in line with City and community expectations.

We are pursuing a Rezoning Application to achieve more:

  • Critically needed affordable housing
  • High-quality homes for existing and future residents of Regent Park
  • Community spaces & amenities (including a new library space); and,
  • Open space

There are several steps to the rezoning application approval process, and opportunities for the community to have their say at key stages along the way – from point of submission, to returned feedback and resubmission, and before finalizing the rezoning application in line with City and community expectations.

On December 6, 2022, TCHC and Tridel resubmitted the rezoning application following the City’s feedback and consultation with the community. Learn more and access the application documents.

Community Benefits Engagement:
As part of the request for proposal (RFP) process to select TCHC’s developer partner for Phases 4 and 5 of the Regent Park revitalization, Tridel committed $26.8 million to the Regent Park community for community benefits, such as jobs and scholarships, in support of the Social Development Plan (SDP).

TCHC has selected a Community Benefits Oversight Working Group (CBOWG), a diverse 20-member advisory group of Regent Park residents (supported by 4 non-voting representatives from local agencies and subject matter experts) who will support a one-year community engagement process and identify what community benefits are important to Regent Park residents.

Here's What Regent Park Residents Had to Say About Connecting to Opportunities Through Tridel

When I graduated from University, it was hard for me to find a professional position as I did not have a lot of experience. So, I reached out to my community for advice and help who then connect me with the Employment Specialist at Tridel, where I was given the opportunity to work as a project coordinator where I gained new experiences and at the same time learned more about the development process in Regent Park.
Y.H.Resident of Regent Park
I was losing confidence in finding meaningful employment when community leaders from Regent Park connected me to the Community Economic Development Team at Tridel. Under the team’s guidance, I was able to brush up my interviews skills and learn how to prepare for hiring events. Tridel Community Worx not only helped me in my job-search journey, but it also played a major role in my personal and professional growth. Tridel Community Worx is a valuable resource for youth and community members in Regent Park. I would highly encourage everyone to get connected through this platform for job search and employment help.
A.K.Resident of Regent Park
With the support of the Employment Program Specialist, I was able to find first job in my field. Together we updated my resume and practiced interview skills so that I was well prepared to get the job. As I am journeying through this opportunity, I have learned many new skills that I will be able to apply my career.
