The scan

The play: Turnkey income

Building features 10 rental units with established short and long-term leases generating 7%+ return.

Tenanted and legal from day one, so the upside sits in the rent roll instead of the shovel.

TESA ScanZoning

The by-law's answer for this lot

We resolved this parcel's zoning, the site-specific exceptions registered against it, and the building forms the by-law permits without a rezoning. Every number below traces to by-law text we hold on file, and we re-check it against the City's register nightly.

Zone

R (d1.0) (x888)

Site exception

Exception 888, with parts of it still to confirm

As-of-right form

Low-rise apartment, 8 unitsAs-of-right (building permit)

As-of-right envelope

355 m² (3,824 ft²)Envelope from the zone's floor space index.

Severance

Not supported on this lotA split would leave roughly 3.1 m (10'-2") of frontage per lot, short of what this zone allows.

Still to verify on this parcel

None of these can be settled from records alone. Any one of them changes what this lot can hold.

  • Whether site plan control applies, which adds an approval step and months to the schedule
  • The front yard setback is averaged against the neighbouring houses, so it depends on buildings that have to be measured on site
  • Which lot coverage rule governs here, which sets how much of the lot the buildings can sit on
  • Whether a garden suite still fits once the separation from the house and the rear setback are measured
  • Whether an apartment building could be argued here, which the by-law does not allow without a rezoning

And more, depending on what the site turns up.

What you are buying, and what is left unused

The building is the asset here, so the numbers lead with what it costs per existing foot and per unit. The as-of-right envelope follows as unused permission: where it runs well ahead of what is standing, there is room to add without buying more land.

Permitted envelope

Not available for this lot

Zone

R

The zoning label carries a density figure, but floor space index does not apply to a detached or semi-detached houseplex (By-law 648-2025). No lot-coverage cap resolved here either, so quoting an envelope would mean applying a standard that does not govern this building type. What actually caps the building is setbacks and building depth, which a TESA scan resolves from the by-law.

What binds it

  • Archaeological potentialStudy before ground

    An archaeological assessment is required before soil is disturbed. It is a cost and a schedule item, and it does not stop a demolition.
