Discover the Potential of a Multiplex

Multiplex zoning lets many single-family and duplex lots hold 4 to 6 homes. In plain terms, one lot can become several front doors. That can mean better use of land, more options for families, and new ways to finance a rebuild.

Why it’s important to you

If you own or plan to buy, these rules can reshape your choices. A quick scan now can save months later, whether you plan to improve, rebuild, partner, or sell.

  • 4 to 6 homes are possible on many lots near frequent transit
  • Height often up to 3 storeys and typical FSR about 1.0
  • Parking minimums reduced or removed near transit
  • Faster approvals for compliant designs
  • Action: check title, services, trees, and transit within 400 meters
Turn new multiplex rules into clear next steps
