The "missing middle" housing represents a crucial opportunity in Canadian real estate, focusing on medium-density housing like duplexes, triplexes, and courtyard buildings that fill the gap between single-family homes and high-rise condos. The best opportunities lie in residential properties on major arterial roads in cities, where investors face less competition from first-time homebuyers. This development approach requires a comprehensive team, including legal, financial, and construction professionals, along with significant experience and capital
- Cities across Canada are changing zoning laws to accommodate missing middle housing, with Toronto specifically upzoning main roads to allow 6-10 units without site plan and up to 30 units with site plan
- The target market includes young professionals, younger families, and multigenerational households seeking alternatives to expensive single-family homes and small condos
- Success requires a strong project team, including expertise in multifamily underwriting, CMHC MLI select program understanding, and experience in construction and property management
