Your backyard,
built for income
Toronto’s Garden Suite bylaw creates real income potential. We handle CofA, architectural drawings, services, and finishes, delivering a code-compliant rentable unit.
Not a shed, a home
A garden suite is a real second dwelling — kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, separate entrance — built on your existing lot. We manage the full path: zoning analysis, architectural and structural drawings, City approvals, utility hookups, and turnkey construction. The result is a rentable, code-compliant unit that adds long-term income and property value.
