Fourplex Construction / Leslieville

# Leslieville Fourplex New Build

A 4-unit new build on a standard 25'x120' Leslieville lot: $1.08M, 11 months from feasibility to occupancy, with a Committee of Adjustment side-yard variance and four self-contained two-bedroom units, each with separate hydro and an HRV.

## The Challenge

The owners had been pitched a sixplex on this lot. A narrow 25-foot frontage in the Toronto and East York District meant six units were technically permitted, but the lot could not fit a second exit, sprinklers and six livable units without several variances. Even four units needed help: standard side-yard setbacks left the building too narrow for four good two-bedroom units.

## Our Approach

1.  Pulled the parcel through GeoWarehouse and modelled the envelope under By-law 569-2013 before any design deposit.
2.  Compared a three-unit option with no variance against a four-unit option with one side-yard variance, including time and carrying cost.
3.  Filed the side-yard variance with the Toronto and East York panel at the start of design, so the hearing ran alongside drawing work.
4.  Designed a stacked layout with one two-bedroom unit per level, a separate hydro meter, water shut-off and HRV for each unit, and STC 50+ floor assemblies.
5.  Enrolled the project with Tarion before mobilization and fixed the construction price after feasibility.

## The Outcome

The variance was approved, construction ran to schedule and the building reached occupancy 11 months after the first feasibility report, at the quoted $1.08M. The owners had avoided a sixplex pitch that could never have been permitted as drawn.
