The Daniels Corporation and Choice Properties Real Estate Investment Trust have partnered with Mary Centre and Kerry’s Place Autism Services to officially welcome residents to their new homes at the Uniti rental community in Brampton, Ontario. The 26-storey residential tower situated near Mount Pleasant GO Station, features six fully accessible rental homes for adults with developmental disabilities and autism. Made possible with support from the Region of Peel, the partnership offers “a model for safe and empowering housing that enables residents to live independently while fostering a stable foundation for personal growth.”
“Mary Centre helps people in building a good life by creating new opportunities for adults who have a developmental disability—helping them work towards personal independence so they can lead fulfilling and meaningful lives, said Kevin Finnerty, Board President, Mary Centre. “This is a great example of partnership which is improving the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our society,”
With over 52,000 individuals in Ontario currently on waiting lists for critical disability support, access to safe and affordable housing remains one of the province’s most urgent needs. According to the partners, this initiative highlights how meaningful, cross-sector collaboration can increase housing equity and create vibrant communities where individuals of all abilities are supported and celebrated.
“Peel is proud to celebrate this cross-sector collaboration to bring safe, inclusive homes to our residents,” said Nando Iannicca, Chair and Chief Executive Officer of Peel Region. “Our goal is to create a community for life where everyone enjoys a sense of belonging and has access to the services and opportunities needed to thrive in each stage of their lives.”
The homes were developed under the Daniels Accessibility Designed Program (ADP), which “goes beyond regulatory requirements” to offer innovative features that promote independence. For residents supported by Mary Centre and Kerry’s Place, these homes are “not just places to live—they represent a new chapter of dignity, empowerment, and community inclusion.”
