The Affordable Rental Housing Project is a partnership between BC Housing, the District of Squamish, and Sea to Sky Community Services to deliver 76 new affordable housing units. The development of a new five-storey is geared toward low to moderate-income families and individuals and includes 76 units: 12 studios, 48 one-bedroom units, and 16 two-bedroom units.

The building includes space on the ground floor for a Sea to Sky Foundry Centre, offering recreational, cultural, and clinical support services to youth.
