About the 62 Bayview Parkway Community Housing Project

The proposed building will have up to 250 units with both affordable and market rents. The design will honour the history of the original building and include indoor and outdoor amenities.

The final design will be shaped through by input from community members. By working with the Town of Newmarket and engaging neighbours, aim to create an inclusive and welcoming community.

Planning Approval Status

York Region is working through the Town’s preapplication process and made a second submission in December 2024. The planning application process will continue into 2025.

How can I apply to live here?

HYI’s community housing includes subsidized and market rental units. This project is currently in its pre-development stages with construction anticipated to begin in 2026. Visit york.ca/62Bayview for updates and to subscribe for the project e-newsletter. 

Subsidized housing

For information on subsidized housing in York Region, including eligibility and how to apply, visit york.ca/Housing or call Access York at 1-877-464-9675. New applicants should know that the demand for subsidized housing in York Region is high and wait times are long. If you are not on the subsidized housing wait list already, it is unlikely you will be offered a unit in this building when it opens.

Market rate units

HYI market rate unit vacancies will be filled on a first-come, first served-basis. There is no wait list. Information on future market rent units, including rent and move-in dates, will be available closer to the end of construction. For more details, visit  york.ca/MarketRentHYI .
