Boro Block is an innovative affordable housing proposal for 11 Haddon RD SW. The Boro Block site was previously home to the YMCA, and since the closure and demolition of this facility in 2019, the property has remained vacant as surplus City land. The City of Calgary’s Non-Market Land Sale program identified this site as an ideal location for affordable housing, and following a rigorous application process Liberty Housing Organization was chosen to develop the site and deliver new affordable homes within the community of Haysboro.

Boro Block is proposed as a six-story mixed-use building, delivering ±201 affordable homes with at-grade spaces for new businesses including a daycare, and ±126 parking stalls. The building’s design includes accessible barrier-free units, and features sustainability measures that exceed current standards in order to significantly reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
