Urban Housing
How Fourplexes & Garden Suites Are Reshaping the GTA
As urban housing affordability continues to challenge the GTA, a new architectural solution is gaining attention: missing middle housing. Fourplexes and garden suites offer a smart, sustainable pathway to densification without sacrificing neighborhood character.
The Essence of Missing Middle
Denied by traditional categories of single-family homes and high-rises, missing middle housing fills a gap with buildings of modest scale that integrate naturally into established communities.
Why Fourplexes & Garden Suites Shine
- Design Harmony: These units mimic townhomes or detached homes, maintaining streetscape aesthetics.
- Affordability: Shared land and construction costs make them more accessible to renters and small-scale developers.
- Density with Delicacy: They boost occupancy levels without overwhelming local infrastructure.
