Habitat for Humanity – Guelph

Speedvale Commons is an innovative and impactful affordable housing development in Guelph, Ontario. This six-story, 48-unit residential building will be located on Speedvale Avenue East, a prime spot for residents to access local amenities and community resources.

Spearheaded by Habitat for Humanity Guelph Wellington, this project reflects a community-wide commitment to accessible, quality housing. Kiwi Newton, as the project’s design-builder, will use our advanced Kiwi Precast System to ensure a high-quality, energy-efficient, and cost-effective construction process.
