London & Middlesex Community Housing Reimagine Southdale Project aims to help improve availability and reduce barriers to affordable housing for those who need it most, while also helping to cultivate vibrant, connected, and sustainable communities.

The property at Southdale and Millbank currently hosts 148 townhouse units and 53 apartment units under construction. Over the course of the three-phase project, the Southdale site will be upgraded to a total of 262 units, including 103 townhouses and 159 apartments. Slated to take place over the course of the next decade, this project will not only improve access to affordable housing but will also help to enrich the Southdale community. Three new six storey apartment buildings will be added to the current site. 

This RFP is for Phase 2, the second six (6) storey, 53-unit apartment building, with community uses over much of the ground floor. The building consists of one, two, three and four bedroom units, including 20% barrier free units. Sitework includes all surface parking, extensive landscape improvements and the demolition of 25 existing townhouses. 

The new phase 2 building will be structural steel studs / cast-in- place concrete shear walls, precast concrete slabs, and steel stud structure, with a mix of brick and prefinished cladding panels. HVAC system will be a vertical heat pump system with energy recovery ventilators in-suites, conventional plumbing

system, a sprinkler system, conventional electrical systems with LED lighting and a fire alarm system.
