Custom Laneway and Garden Homes in Toronto.

In other words, if you own a house/property in Toronto and your backyard or garage backs out onto a public laneway, you can build a self-contained residential unit, giving your home additional space and providing options for living and rental opportunities.

FAQs.
Got a question? We’re here to help.
What exactly is a laneway home, and how is it different from a garden home?
A laneway home is a detached secondary dwelling typically located in the rear yard of a property and faces onto a public laneway. It's often built where there's existing laneway access, allowing for a separate entrance and a distinct address. A garden home, on the other hand, is also a detached secondary dwelling in the backyard, but it does not require laneway access. It's usually accessed from the main property's front yard or a side path. Both offer excellent opportunities for added living space or rental income.
What are the primary benefits of building a laneway or garden home?
Building a laneway or garden home offers numerous advantages for Canadian homeowners. Financially, it can provide significant rental income, helping to offset mortgage payments or create a new revenue stream. It also substantially increases your property's overall value and resale appeal. Beyond finances, these homes offer flexible living solutions that are perfect for multi-generational families, providing independent living for aging parents or adult children, or creating a dedicated home office, studio, or guest suite.
Do I need a specific type of property to build a laneway or garden home?
Yes, specific property requirements must be met to build a laneway or garden home, which vary by municipality in Canada. Generally, your lot size, frontage, and existing setbacks from your main house and property lines are key factors. For laneway homes, direct access to a public laneway is essential. Our team at Outstanding Construction Inc. will conduct a thorough site assessment during our initial consultation to determine your property's eligibility and discuss all applicable zoning bylaws.
Increase Your Living Space.
Suites can include full electrical coverage and plumbing, both of which will be connected to that of the main house, which requires extensive work to the Suite itself, the backyard, and the basement of the main house. While there has been a lot of opposition to these suites recently, they're a great way to increase your living space and create a potential opportunity for more income if you choose to rent it out. Sound complicated? It certainly can be - but not to us! Outstanding Construction's team of experts has extensive experience with the building of Laneway Suites and can help guide you through the process from start to finish, ensuring that all the appropriate bylaws are followed to the letter of the law.
From Start to Finish, We've Got Your Back.
If you're interested in learning more about Laneway Suites, or you'd like us to come visit your property to see if it meets the bylaw requirements, contact us today! We'll walk you through the entire process and if you decide to proceed, we can also help you take care of all permits and inspections that are required for the construction.
