Native Men’s Residence (Na-Me-Res) officially opened the doors to an affordable housing property for marginalized Indigenous men in Cabbagetown on Monday.

The erstwhile Victorian mansion at 218 Carlton St. was built in 1877 and was formerly used as office space. The conversion to affordable housing units began in December 2022.

The property was acquired by the city as part of a “community benefits charge” agreement with MOD Developments, related to their redevelopment of 55-61 Charles St. E.

It was fully renovated by MOD Developments and transferred back to the city for use as permanent affordable rental housing.
