The scan

The play: Turnkey income

5-unit apartment building with one-bedroom suites, updated kitchens/bathrooms, and 'Bring Your Top Investors' language confirms finished, income-generating property.

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

  • Lot 16.5 m x 6.7 m (54'-0" x 22'-0")

Not confirmed

R (d1.0) (x881)

We have not verified the by-law standards for this parcel's zoning, so we are not quoting numbers on it. A number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number. The layer scan below is a rough pass, not a zoning answer.

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 an apartment building could be argued here, which the by-law does not allow without a rezoning
  • The front yard setback is averaged against the neighbouring houses, so it depends on buildings that have to be measured on site
  • The maximum building depth on this lot, which sets how far back the house can go
  • Which lot coverage rule governs here, which sets how much of the lot the buildings can sit on
  • Lot dimensions and area against a current survey, not the listing sheet

And more, depending on what the site turns up.

A quick pass over the mapped layers, kept here for comparison. Where it disagrees with the zoning answer above, go with the zoning answer.

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.

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.

Add a garden suite

By-law 849-2025 s.11

A garden suite is a separate allowance, not counted into the main building's floor area. Its own cap is 60 m² over one storey or 120 m² over two. With a suite on the lot, coverage follows one of two by-law options, and which one is the applicant's choice.

Garden suite: 120 m² (1,292 ft²), 6.3 m tall, 7.5 m from the main building

Option A · all buildings at 45%

Option B · main on the overlay, ancillary at 20%

The main building has no coverage cap under Option B here, so its size is set by setbacks rather than a percentage.

    A register property sits on this lot or right beside it. The register covers both listed and designated properties, and they are not the same: designation controls demolition, listing buys a delay. Confirm which, and confirm it is this address, before pricing a teardown.
