Affordable coliving for young people. Downtown revitalization for cities.

Register for updates on coliving and Toboggan Flats.

Canada has a housing crisis

Young people are feeling the crunch

They can’t afford to buy and now they can’t even afford to rent.

Cities have been hit too. Remote work means too much vacant office space, and it’s hollowing out our downtown cores.

Affordability is easily the top concern for young people. Our solution: Toboggan Flats.

Toboggan Flats provides affordable, purpose-built coliving that repurpose vacant office space into shared housing for young workers—downtown, where young people want to live, work and play.

Coliving is proven and it’s happening all over the world.

Our spaces

At Toboggan Flats, members get their own private room and share kitchens, bathrooms, laundry and lounges, creating a dynamic and elevated coliving community for young Canadians, complete with stylish design, community building staff, wifi and cleaning — all in one monthly fee.

Our model uses a vacant office building’s existing mechanical, electrical and plumbing infrastructure as the basis of a Toboggan Flats site, creating a sustainable and cost-effective adaptation, with shared services and amenities centrally located, by the building’s core.

The flex areas become community hubs, where users gather after their day and re-enter the world of relationships, conversation and shared experiences.

Revitalizing downtowns. Affordable housing—fast

Remote work is here to stay. And with downtown office vacancies pushing 25%, municipalities and building owners need solutions that breathe new life into our downtown economies—fast. Toboggan Flats targets floors in vacant office buildings and repurposes that space from working to living, bringing young workers back downtown to support our downtown businesses and restaurants—helping shore up commercial tax revenues. Projects are move-ready in months, not years, and at rates lower than standard downtown rentals.

Young workers. Better, together.

Coliving is about more than just shared spaces—it’s about fostering a vibrant community. At Toboggan Flats, we provide space that encourages social events and activities to help members connect, explore shared interests and cultivate meaningful relationships. And with more young Canadians reporting increased levels of loneliness and isolation, a new home at Toboggan Flats comes with belonging and connection built right in.
