Toronto’s “missing middle” is finally showing up.
In 2025, 6.45% of Toronto housing starts came from small-scale infill: accessory units and buildings with 2–8 homes.
That’s a 10×+ increase in just two years.
More housing is being added through
• Garden suites • Laneway suites
• Duplexes • Triplexes • Fourplexes
Since 2023, Toronto has permitted multiplexes of up to four units city-wide, with five- and six-unit permissions now expanded to 9 of the city’s 25 wards.
If your property allowed it, would you add another unit?
