Recently Completed Projects

The shopping centre, owned by QuadReal Properties, is undergoing a complete rebuild and partial tear-

down. The redevelopment project will feature a residential/hotel condominium and a multi-floor

shopping centre. As part of the redesign, the exterior parking garage will be removed, and the parking lot will be reconfigured to align with the new design footprint of the shopping centre. The RHFAC accessibility report conducted at this location has provided valuable findings and recommendations, which will be incorporated into the design phase of construction. Meaningful accessibility will be a key feature of this new shopping and residential experience, prioritizing the needs of both shoppers and residents.

Three YMCA centres located in downtown Toronto have been awarded RHFAC ratings, which assess their accessibility. These ratings have provided valuable insights that have been used to enhance the physical health facilities in an inclusive and equitable manner for individuals with vision loss, hearing loss, and physical disabilities. By considering these accessibility findings, the YMCA centres are taking steps to ensure inclusivity for a demographic that is sometimes overlooked, thereby contributing to a better quality of life for a greater number of Toronto residents.

Humber College has demonstrated a strong commitment to accessibility by obtaining RHFAC ratings for two buildings at the Lakeshore campus and two buildings at the North campus.

Humber College’s unwavering dedication to accessibility positions them as educational leaders and sets a high standard for other educational institutions to aspire to.

Following an extensive renovation, the boutique-style Kimpton St. George Hotel is taking significant strides towards enhancing accessibility. The property will implement comprehensive short and long- term recommendations from the RHFAC rating throughout its premises. By prioritizing accessibility, The St. George Hotel gains a competitive edge by making its offerings available to a broader demographic of individuals seeking vacation or accommodation in the downtown core. This commitment sets a new standard in the hotel industry, inspiring other organizations to follow suit and create inclusive hotel experiences that enable more individuals with disabilities to enjoy the vibrant city of Toronto.

The city of Vaughan’s commitment to accessibility is evident through the RHFAC ratings of its five recreational and community sites. This exemplifies the city’s leadership and forward-thinking approach to ensuring inclusivity in various aspects of community life, including recreational activities, outdoor municipal sports, and employment opportunities. These sites have been equipped with features and benefits that cater to the needs of individuals with vision loss, hearing loss, and mobility devices.
