“Missing Middle”

Demand for family-sized attainable units (3+ bedrooms) remains high across the GTA, yet new supply is constrained. Most new condo developments focus on smaller 1- and 2-bedroom units, while homes with 3+ bedrooms are rare. Stacked townhomes offer an ideal bridge between affordability and functionality for families and downsizers.

Why Townhomes Make Sense In Current Market

Townhome developments offer compelling advantages in today’s market. They are highly cost-efficient, avoiding the need for underground parking and using wood construction, which results in significantly lower hard costs compared to mid-rise or high-rise buildings. Shorter build timelines—often as fast as 18 months—not only reduce borrowing costs but also attract end-user buyers seeking quicker occupancy. Townhomes deliver attractive pricing with lower per-foot purchase costs and faster delivery to market. They provide spacious, family-oriented housing options with 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom layouts, ideal for first-time buyers, families, and downsizers. Additionally, townhome projects typically achieve faster zoning approvals, as they have less community impact and align well with government housing priorities.
