Sixty-six affordable townhomes at 1707 Ritson Road North in Oshawa are ready for occupancy, the City of Oshawa having handed over occupancy permits, and residents will soon receive their keys and move in, the Durham Post reports.
The 2.2-acre lot holds 66 units of stacked and back-to-back townhouses. The Region of Durham bought the lot in 2018; after topsoil was stripped it sat vacant until construction began in 2024.
Funding for the project includes more than $7 million combined from the Ontario Priorities Housing Initiative and the Canada-Ontario Community Housing Initiative, plus $27.5 million in federal funding through the Affordable Housing Fund. The homes will be operated by the Durham Region Non-Profit Housing Corporation.
Oshawa City Councillor Rosemary McConkey shared the news, according to the Post. No builder or developer was named.
