Hey @Daniel Foch and @Nick Hill Who do you guys have as the go to planner/ consultant for @Rob Campbell looking to have someone on his team before he eventually purchases a detached GTA home for a 4+1 build out? He has the construction fire power but needs the help mostly on the front end due diligence side pre purchase to make sure he can in fact build what he wants on any subject property.

Hey everyone just a reminder we have Ben Singer of SRLaw joining us this Wednesday at 3pm for a presentation on How to Condominiumize Units in a Multifamily - be sure to join us & if you cant - send over your questions beforehand

Hi All, At the end of last week an amazing missing middle 10 unit project was voted down at the COA (committee of adjustments), a big loss (for now) for middle housing development and the community as a whole. Its location in Seaton Village has been experiencing population decline for over a decade and now sits at 2006 levels. This proposed multiplex is located less than 5min walk from 2 subway stations, Bloor st and Christie pits park. I've been stewing over this one since the COA meeting as there is an abundance of incredible resistance to change in the GTA and mental gymnastics to justify it. A notable toronto citizen developer, Chris Spoke has broken down the meeting from the youtube broadcast, in his Hogtown podcast "E4: Anatomy of a Committee of Adjustments hearing" I suggest listening in for some incredible insight as to why a loss or delays like this are to the detriment of all current and future residents, developers big or small and investors.https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/e4-anatomy-of-a-committee-of-adjustments-hearing/id1738571753?i=1000652927602 and also here is a link to a great article by John Lorinc about the COA https://spacing.ca/toronto/2024/04/18/lorinc-its-time-to-talk-about-the-committee-of-adjustment/

Hey who attended the Unpacking Multiplex last night? I loved it - cool to hear about more of the design/human side of multiplexing from those who work in the industry. What was your biggest takeaway? Mine was the value of using some of the existing structure if the house has good bones, rather than rebuild. Lingering question is what is the benefit of doing an ADU when a similar investment could buy a property & house in a secondary or tertiary market as an additional investment (plus you are getting land). The value of an ADU is not clicking for me. The new ReHousing tool will be a a game changer for high level anaylsis of properties (I believe just in City of Toronto). Great event, thanks to everyone who worked hard to put it together.
