When Toronto upzoned every residential lot for fourplexes, the client asked us to unlock value in a newly bought investment property. They’d assumed a triplex. We ran the numbers and found the highest and best use was four units. The semi-detached home became a multiplex: one studio and three one-bedroom units across two and a half storeys with a full basement.

The house was gutted, reinsulated, and renovated inside and out to add housing the downtown core needs.
