  • Preliminary Report – As part of Toronto’s commitments under the federal Housing Accelerator Fund, and building on existing multiplex permissions and the ongoing Ward 23 pilot study, the Planning and Housing Committee directed City Planning staff to explore city-wide as-of-right zoning permissions for residential buildings with up to six units and four storeys.
  • Federal Housing Accelerator Fund – City Council authorized the City to enter into a funding agreement with the federal government through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to implement Toronto’s approved Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) application. The funding will support a range of housing initiatives aimed at increasing supply and affordability, including zoning reforms to permit more multi-unit low-rise housing, pre-development funding for Indigenous, non-profit, and co-op housing providers, and public release of missing middle housing designs.

Urban Land Institute Toronto Technical Assistance Panel

The Multiplex Team engaged a technical assistance panel organized by the Urban Land Institute Toronto to explore the financial feasibility of building multiplexes in Toronto. The panel was made up of professionals with expertise in architecture and design, planning, development, and financing. The panel provided analysis and recommendations to the team which will inform the final recommendations to City Council. View the report.

ReHousing: University of Toronto, John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture Landscape and Design

ReHousing is a research project coordinated at the University of Toronto, Daniels Faculty. The research work is a collaboration between Tuf Lab and LGA Architectural Partners that explores how to convert single-family homes into multi-unit housing. The project uses affordable and common-sense design to compare renovations, additions, and new construction housing options. This project is not affiliated with the Multiplex Team or the City of Toronto, but this research team has produced other modeling which has informed the work of the Multiplex Team.
