I was reading through UT and realized the Valhalla Village development in Etobicoke (project thread) is another partial prefab. The parts for the 30-storey tower and 11-storey mid-rise come from Modular Pre-cast Systems, a North York-based company with a factory in Bradford West Gwillimbury.

Re Beaverton Heights. This development popped up in the Globe over the weekend. Here is a link to Canadian Architect with some technical detail. Interesting.

Invisible Need, Visible Care: Beaverton Heights, Beaverton, Ontario
A new building in southern Ontario offers a rural model for modular supportive housing.

I thought I would summarize recent pre-fab news. In total, there are now 3 new pre-fab factories set to open next year in Ontario.
In a recent article from Renx on the growth of the pre-fab industry in Canada, they mention that Stelumar's first development will apparently be in Mississauga, and will consist of three 6-storey buildings. Stelumar's new factory is supposed to open next year, with a capacity to produce more than 3,000 units per year.
The same article also mentions that Assembly Corp. is building a factory near Downsview, which will reportedly be able to churn out 1,600 units per year. The construction of that new factory already has a UT project thread.
Toronto-based Assembly Corp. (formerly known as R-Hauz) wasn't on my radar before I read this Renx article. A quick UT search shows they've been around a few years and have erected a few pre-fabs already. They built a pair of buildings at 1598 Queen St (project thread) and 1602 Queen St (project thread). They are also behind the Danforth Baptist Church re-development (project thread), the Thunder Woman Healing Lodge (project thread), 1120 Ossington (project thread) and 215 Wellesley (project thread).
Also in recent pre-fab news, Intelligent City has announced a big new 18-storey development in Barrie. In a second Renx article, they have re-stated their desire to build an Ontario factory by end of next year, which they say will have a 1,200 unit per year capacity. Credit to @Branden Simon and @Northern Light for digging up the details on this development in the project thread.

Element5, with a facility in St. Thomas, recently doubled the size of their facility and their mass timber production capacity. They work with Assembly frequently and provided the mass timber for 1120 Ossington, 215 Wellesley and Thunder Woman amongst other projects in the GTA.

The Triumph Group of companies is getting into the prefabricated business. This CTV article says that their new division, PrimeFab, plans to open a new factory in Midland next year. According to their website, they plan to produce both wood and aluminum panels. They say they can produce the equivalent of three 1,700 foot homes each day, which is about 600 panels.
