Kindred Works develops and manages purpose-built rental housing that is beautiful, low-carbon, and desirable to live in. By repurposing urban sites, Kindred Works creates housing that contributes to more livable communities while delivering meaningful social and environmental benefits.
In Orillia, Ontario, Chandos partnered with Kindred Works to build the Regent Park development. This climate-safe rental housing project was designed for the conditions of 2050 and beyond. The Regent Park development added 48 new one- and two-bedroom rental homes to the community.
Each home includes a private entrance and was designed to maximize daylight, fresh air, and cross-ventilation. As a result, residents benefit from comfortable and energy-efficient living spaces. The project also included a community garden, outdoor gathering areas, and the preservation of mature trees across the site.
The Regent Park development reflects Kindred Works’ commitment to creating rental housing that balances environmental performance with resident well-being. Thoughtful site planning supports connections between neighbours while providing access to outdoor gathering spaces and shared amenities. At the same time, the project prioritized long-term resilience through low-carbon design strategies that help reduce environmental impact and support changing climate conditions.
As communities across Ontario experience growing demand for rental housing, projects like the Regent Park development help increase housing choice while contributing to more sustainable neighbourhoods. By combining energy-conscious design with high-quality living spaces, the development provides homes that are comfortable, durable, and designed to support residents for years to come.
In addition, the Regent Park development supports the growing demand for purpose-built rental housing in Orillia. Through thoughtful design and low-carbon construction, the project reflects Kindred Works’ commitment to creating sustainable housing that is both practical and desirable.
