TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–DREAM UNLIMITED CORP. (TSX:DRM) (“Dream”) today announced the creation of the Dream Community Foundation (the “Foundation”), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the well-being of individuals, families, and neighbourhoods across Canada. In conjunction with Dream, the Dream Community Foundation will support and expand Dream’s overall impact mandate with a specific focus on building inclusive communities through resident and community benefits and programming that go above and beyond traditional property management.

The Foundation will be supported by a seed commitment of $25 million from the Cooper family, which will be donated over the next five years, continuing the Cooper family’s commitment to building more inclusive communities. As one of Canada’s most innovative real estate companies, Dream is focused on developing and operating properties by incorporating affordable and attainable housing, fostering inclusivity, and managing resource efficiency, while pursuing sustainable market returns.

“Over the past few years, Dream has made significant strides in creating low carbon, affordable and attainable communities in Canada, including Zibi, the West Don Lands and our recent multi-family acquisitions including Weston Common and 9 other apartment buildings,” said Michael Cooper, Founder of the Dream Group of Companies. “Now, with the Dream Community Foundation, we can build on Dream’s impact goals and co-create with residents in neighbourhoods across the country to make these communities more inclusive.”

Working in partnership with the Dream Group of Companies (collectively Dream Unlimited Corp., Dream Impact Trust, Dream Impact Fund, and Dream Office REIT) as well as existing registered charities, local community organizations and non-profits, the Foundation will support existing initiatives and programs, in addition to creating its own. These initiatives and programs will focus on four pillars: Affordable Living, Health & Wellness, Education & Skills, and Culture & Belonging. Together with residents and local stakeholders in the community, the Foundation will develop inclusive programming and services.

The Foundation held its first event, a three-day multicultural holiday celebration at Dream’s Weston Common, in partnership with the Weston Village Business Improvement Area and Artscape Weston Common. The event highlighted various winter holidays celebrated in the community, including Kwanzaa, Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, and Lunar New Year, welcoming over 600 residents. Further programming and partnerships will be developed based on residents’ feedback and expanded to other communities through 2022 and 2023.

In Ottawa, the Foundation will also be working with a local affordable housing partner to provide on-site community programming and support to residents of the LeBreton Flats Library Parcel development. Programming will be delivered to further community well-being for all tenants in affordable units and rental units to foster a thriving and resilient community. Programming will specifically be geared towards Indigenous peoples, veterans, new immigrants, women and children, and adults with cognitive disabilities.

“We’re incredibly excited by the opportunity to make a real difference in communities like Weston Common,” said Krystal Koo, Chair of the Board of the Dream Community Foundation. “By investing in artistic, educational, and food security-based programs and services, we hope to strengthen community bonds and improve health outcomes.”

The Dream Community Foundation’s work will be assessed in line with Dream’s impact Management Framework, with a focus on alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, the Foundation will add assessment through the lens of the World Health Organization’s Social Determinants of Health. These reflect the socioeconomic and cultural conditions that contribute to health and well-being beyond pure healthcare access and quality. The Foundation will also subject itself to Charity Intelligence Canada’s Social Impact Ratings system to ensure meaningful, quantifiable, and accountable impact metrics on an organization-wide basis. The Foundation will produce an annual report summarizing how its programs and services have delivered on these metrics.

The Foundation is currently incorporated federally as a not-for-profit corporation and is in the process of seeking to become a registered charity.

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#assistedliving–A Place for Mom (“APFM”), the largest marketplace for senior care services, announced today it has raised $175 million in growth equity funding to fuel the next stage of the company’s growth and transformation. The funding round was led by New York-based global venture capital and private equity firm Insight Partners, with additional participation from existing investors General Atlantic and Silver Lake.

Dream LeBreton selected for mixed-use Library Parcel development

OTTAWA, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The National Capital Commission (NCC) announced today, in partnership with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), that Dream LeBreton has been selected as the successful proponent to develop the first phase of the Building LeBreton project in Ottawa, Ontario.

Dream LeBreton is a partnership between Dream Asset Management Corporation (Dream Unlimited Corp. – TSX:DRM) and Dream Impact Master LP (Dream Impact Trust – TSX:MPCT.UN), along with the Multifaith Housing Initiative, a non-profit housing provider. The design team is led by KPMB Architects and Perkins & Will, supported by Two Row Architect and Purpose Building, with PFS Studio as the landscape architect, EllisDon as the construction manager, and Innovation Seven as the Indigenous engagement consultant.

According to the Canada Green Building Council, this premier project will deliver Canada’s largest residential zero-carbon development. Dream LeBreton will build an integrated community at the LeBreton Flats Library Parcel, a 1.1-hectare site just west of downtown Ottawa, featuring:

• 601 new rental housing units, of which 31% will be accessible, and 41% will be affordable housing comprising the following:
  • 130 units owned by a local not-for-profit rented at 59% of median market rent in perpetuity; and
  • 117 units owned by Dream LeBreton rented at 79% of median market rent for 55 years.

• Affordable units will serve priority populations, as identified in Canada’s National Housing Strategy, including:
  • women and children
  • Algonquin and other Indigenous peoples
  • veterans
  • recent immigrants
  • adults with cognitive disabilities

• Strong social and workforce benefits, including:
  • 15% of the overall value of contracts going to vendors that are at least 50% owned or managed by people from equity-seeking groups, including 5% of contracts to Algonquin and Indigenous businesses
  • 50% of the overall value of contracts going to vendors that are at least 50% owned or managed in the National Capital Region
  • 20% of on-site employment hours going to people from equity-seeking groups, including 5% to Algonquin and Indigenous people

• Retail space, including food retailer, café and health services
• On-site programming and support to enable the well-being of both affordable and market-rate tenants, while fostering a thriving and resilient community, potentially including:
  • tutoring and tutoring-related scholarships
  • after-school programming, including healthy snacks, reading and games
  • adult skills classes and free fitness classes
  • bicycle maintenance shop, and community hub serving diverse needs

• Wastewater energy and solar power-generating systems
• 600 indoor parking spots for bikes and 200 underground parking spots for motor vehicles
• A large outdoor public space that is socially inclusive

This transit-oriented site will also prioritize active mobility with new pedestrian connections from the lower level of Pimisi Station toward the Ādisōke Library site.

NEXT STEPS

The NCC will continue to work with Dream LeBreton to advance the development’s design, as well as address objectives related to the Master Concept Plan in coordination with the City of Ottawa’s review of the project, including ensuring pedestrian priority and safety, and animating the site with active frontages and programming.

Pending final federal and municipal design and development approvals, Dream LeBreton is planning to obtain building permits by the end of 2023, with buildings ready for occupancy by early 2026.

KEY FACTS

• The Library Parcel is the first development phase to be implemented from the LeBreton Flats Master Concept Plan approved by the NCC’s Board of Directors in 2021.
• The site is located at 665 Albert Street, on the western edge of Ottawa’s downtown core, adjacent to the Pimisi O-Train station and close to pathways.
• The proceeds of this $30-million sale will be reinvested by the NCC in public benefits to support the realization of a Capital destination and vibrant community, as envisioned in the LeBreton Flats Master Concept Plan.

QUOTES

“I am pleased with Building LeBreton’s momentum thus far in bringing to life an inspiring vision for a spectacular community in the heart of Canada’s Capital. I commend all of the proponents for their participation in this vigorously competitive process and thank CMHC for their continued partnership. The selected team, Dream LeBreton, is now poised to build Canada’s most sustainably designed community at the Library Parcel.”

—Tobi Nussbaum, CEO, NCC

“Everyone living in Canada deserves a safe and affordable place to call home, and we continue to take action to increase the supply of affordable rental housing. I am delighted to see such a vital project for our nation’s capital move forward.”

—Romy Bowers, President and CEO, CMHC

“Our proposal for the LeBreton Flats Library Parcel is founded on our extensive experience building communities across Canada that are positive for society. We look forward to continuing this tradition by providing desperately needed affordable housing, contributing to a healthier planet by building a zero-carbon community, and by creating inclusive neighbourhoods that provide a stronger sense of belonging for everyone. This project will increase our commitment to the Capital, while realizing the vision for our neighbouring development, Zibi. We welcome the partnership with NCC and CMHC, and will strive to continually innovate and create an even more desirable community as we develop this project.”

—Michael Cooper, Founder, Dream Group of Companies, Dream LeBreton
