Shepherd Manor continued our ongoing partnership with Shepherd Village, Toronto's largest not-for-profit seniors' community, where we have been working for over 25 years to create a unified campus of care. This 11-storey seniors' affordable rental building renovation, successfully delivered using our Architect Managed Project (AMP) approach, demonstrates our expertise working in occupied buildings, where maintaining residents' quality of life during construction is paramount.

The building required comprehensive structural and aesthetic updates while keeping all 273 suites occupied throughout the renovation process. We developed a floor-by-floor renovation strategy using a top-down implementation plan that maintained a safe living environment for residents during the entire 3.5-year construction period. Each floor's renovation took approximately four months, with residents moving only once during 'no work' periods to clear the next construction zone.
