LONDON, ONT. – The Diocese of Huron and St. Paul’s Cathedral are a part of an affordable housing initiative in downtown London that will see an office building repurposed to feature 94 residential units. The office building stands on land owned by the diocese, which leases it to Sifton Properties, owners of the building.
The project is a partnership between Sifton Properties, Homes Unlimited (London) Inc., the diocese and the cathedral. Sifton Properties will donate the building and oversee reconstruction for Homes Unlimited, which will assume operational responsibilities for the property.
Construction is expected to begin this summer and to be completed in the fall of 2025. The building will have 80 one-bedroom and 14 two-bedroom units. The collaboration is seen as an innovative not-for-profit private partnership model that may contribute to the city’s goal of creating 3,000 new affordable housing units, said a statement by the diocese.
