New Projects
New Project Category added
26/05/23
We've created a new project category by the name of "Other" which will encompass a range of projects that don't fit our other categories, but are still in support of our clients, funders and the benefactors of our core non-profit & public work. The first project to be featured in this category is a recently completed heritage restoration and addition to a residence in Toronto's Cabbagetown neighbourhood.

George Street Revitalization
28/10/15
The City of Toronto has posted an update on our work with Montgomery Sisam Architects on the George Street Revitalization project, “the site of the existing Seaton House shelter for men, George Street Revitalization will mean the creation of a dynamic mix of housing and programs for homeless and vulnerable seniors alongside the delivery of services to meet the needs of a vibrant and mixed downtown neighbourhood. This is city-building to make a more welcoming and safe street--all in the context of the broader Downtown East Revitalization.
City Council unanimously approved George Street Revitalization in principle in summer 2013. Program plans are being developed with the input of many stakeholders. To date, these plans include five areas:
- a long-term care home with 384 beds
- a 100-bed emergency shelter for men
- an innovative "assisted living" service for men and women who need more care than traditional supportive housing can provide, but less than what a long-term care home involves
- a service hub for program clients as well as members of the surrounding community
- affordable housing with supports”

George Street Revitalization Project
28/02/15
Montgomery Sisam and Hilditch Architect have been awarded Stage One of the City of Toronto’s George Street Revitalization Project. The George Street Revitalization will use the site of the existing Seaton House Shelter to create a dynamic new mix of housing and programs for homeless and vulnerable seniors. The new development will include an innovative combination of emergency shelter, long term care and assisted living beds as well as a service hub to provide a range of services to clients and the surrounding community. The revitalization will also support the creation of a vibrant and safe mixed-use neighbourhood. Montgomery Sisam and Hilditch Architect have been delivering projects that help people break barriers to health and community services, provide long term care, affordable housing, and emergency shelter for over 30 years. We are excited to harness all of our collective “lessons learned” into a remarkable project of human and community renewal.Tropicana Community Centre
