The reports on the Sudbury development do say it will help the town reach its 10% affordable housing, but it doesn’t actually specify how many units that includes. It’s worth noting that the actual affordableness of affordable housing is subjective. For instance when Oriele landing listed it’s “affordable” units in 2019 the advertised rent was $1678 for 1 bedroom and $1876 for a 2 bedroom. Plus all utilities (water, gas and electric) and $150 for parking. And I’m sure it’s high now, 2 years later.
