Multiplex Construction
Toronto Multiplex Construction
Duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and eligible five- and six-unit buildings. Wintrup handles new construction and substantial renovations, with a developer’s view of cost, schedule and how the building will operate.
What to consider
The questions that decide feasibility.
- Unit count depends on location
- Up to four units are permitted in residential neighbourhoods citywide. Five- and six-unit buildings are only permitted in specific areas, so check current City mapping for your address.
- Servicing and code drive cost
- Water, sewer and electrical capacity, fire separations and exits can matter as much as the size of the building.
- Design for operation
- Layouts, metering and finishes chosen for long-term rental operation reduce costs after completion.
How It Works
