The Town of Leamington is located on the northern shores of Lake Erie, the southernmost part of Canada. Fondly known as the “Tomato Capital of Canada,” Leamington offered Canada’s first multi-unit 3D home project team more than a warm climate and longer building season.

“I knew that they had enough infrastructure to support the effort needed to come together to make this development happen,” says Fiona Coughlin, project lead of Canada’s first 3D printed residential homes, and chief executive officer, Habitat for Humanity Windsor-Essex. “I also knew there was likely some land available.”

“I was thrilled that Habitat for Humanity wanted to build within our community again,” says Mayor Hilda MacDonald, Town of Leamington. “We have had great success with the other homes built by Habitat and we have a wonderful working relationship with Fiona and her team.”

“The average household income in Leamington is the lowest in the region and the need for assistance and a leg up is there,” says Hilda.
