Ontario's Building Code is under review — and TRREB is making sure missing middle housing is part of the conversation. 🏗️
We've submitted practical recommendations designed to make the Building Code clearer, more modern, and more supportive of the missing-middle housing Ontario communities need:
🏢 Permitting single-stair residential buildings up to six storeys
🛗 Permitting elevators within qualifying exit enclosures
📐 Modernizing elevator size and speed requirements for small apartment buildings
🔄 Establishing an annual Building Code review process
Small changes to the code. Big impact on housing supply.
