    Collapse of an affordable housing dream (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It was, and may still be, the home-building industry’s version of the chicken-and-egg quandary. When Leith Moore, an architect and infill developer, in 2021 decided to take a run at constructing modular housing, his firm tapped into a stream of small-scale affordable projects backed by governments or non-profits aiming to build quickly. Their “volumetric” components – rooms, effectively – could be built in a factory, then assembled on site. Yet after Mr. Moore and his Assembly Corp. partners beg

    How Canada can play to win when U.S. trade strategy goes rogue (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Back in the day, multilateral trade negotiations resembled grandmaster chess tournaments: intense, yet everyone played by the same rules. But negotiating with the U.S. under President Donald Trump has demanded a totally different gaming analogy. Noah Fry, a Dalhousie University political scientist who studies the intersection of game theory and trade negotiation strategy, offers a legibly Canadian one to describe the first CUSMA negotiations with Trump in 2018—and perhaps, as of this past August

    Unpacking the Carney government’s $2.7-billion housing pledge (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    When Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mayor Olivia Chow turned up at a construction site earlier this month, they came lugging a truckload of big numbers to unload on the city’s perennially fraught housing market. The feds will provide $2.7-billion in low-interest loans and grants to build 5,600 new rental homes – both market and subsidized – across 18 projects, all on land owned by the city. Toronto will ante up a further $530-million in capital, plus a century’s worth of property tax abatements.

    The big payoff in converting old office buildings to residential use (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    For decades, Halifax’s Centennial Building, with its façade of vertical precast concrete strips and modernist stylings, anchored half a downtown block facing Sackville Street, about a third of the way up the steep hill between the harbour and the park surrounding the city’s historic Citadel. During COVID-19, with so many people working from home, the Centennial’s tenants vanished and in 2021, the 200,000-square-foot building was sold to Sidewalk, a Dartmouth developer/builder that wanted to conv

    A vertical variation on green building technology: solar walls (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    When the University of Toronto Scarborough opens its new six-storey academy of medicine and integrated health complex this fall, students and members of the public will be able to access not just state-of-the-art classrooms and labs, but also a family health clinic and a pharmacy, both of which are scarce in its corner of the city. What they likely won’t notice, however, is the way energy courses through the building, which was co-designed by the Dutch architecture powerhouse MVRDV and local par
