This modern sixplex development exemplifies the City of Toronto’s vision for gentle density and missing middle housing. Located on a unique urban site, it transforms a single-family home by maintaining its original footprint and introducing a third-storey and rear addition. These enhancements remain sensitive to the surrounding height limits, setbacks, lot coverage, and building depths to ensure seamless neighbourhood character integration. 

Being a compact and efficient apartment building, it is a perfect blend of contemporary design and contextual sensitivity. By adding six new residential units, the project responds to the housing needs of the neighbourhood and to the city’s need for housing diversity. A mix of unit types—ranging from studios to multi-bedroom layouts—ensures suitability for a broad demographic, including singles, couples, and families.

Designed with a strong emphasis on sustainable design and efficient construction methods such as panelized construction, the building is a model of contemporary urban infill. Having gone under public consultation and a full pre-construction feasibility assessment, this project was designed and built to ensure community support and long-term viability.
