Lane way home details & budget
Introduction by Project Manager, Aldo:
Hello, I’m Aldo, a 58-year-old construction expert with a family legacy in the field. I’ll be serving as your project manager, bringing years of experience in housing projects. My role is to find solutions, improve efficiency, and work within the budget. Whether it’s sourcing quotes, selecting contractors, or adapting to your preferences, my approach is flexible and client focused. Unlike a general contractor who price are higher, I get paid only after the final inspection, ensuring your satisfaction with the project.
Laneway house Project Overview:
-Warranty & Insurance: Products and trades come with warranties. Additionally, I and the tradespeople carry liability insurance. Remember, every construction project requires an engineering plan and inspections at each step.
-Tarion Insurance: This is not necessary for owners unless the property is built for resale.
-Design & Cost Estimates: The plan I design can easily convert into a family home with a master suite and two bedrooms. The estimated cost is around $450,000 to $500,000. For financing details and scenarios, use this mortgage payment calculator: Rate Hub Calculator.

I have tried to get as close as possible pricing, as we know cost can fluctuate.
Now we must add municipal tax 200$\month, roomies tax? & maintain fees including cleaning (common aera every week + (green roof 3 times a year) = + – 470 per month
with 5 room to rent between 900 -1100 depending on the bedroom size + utilities, i think its a fair price in the actual market to keep good tenants, you can compare following this link for pricing & how fast they rent it: https://www.roomies.ca/rooms/high-park-toronto-on
Some incentive are there to lower rental price.
that will leave you with an income or 1000 + /month & an increase a lot your potential resale value.
Every project in Toronto will help to have a decent place for people to live.
I read stories from sharing a bed for 900$ / month to sleep in a furnace room for 1000$/month,
Or this one: https://www.blogto.com/real-estate-toronto/2023/09/ice-condos-toronto-rent/
Make nonsense.
Toronto as a lot to offer, Toronto will always need people, will always need improvement.
& Toronto as a beautiful city attracting people from around the world.
Price will not be going down easily in rental property.
& some might consider building a laneway to live in it & convert your main property in unit or roommate or built & convert both, some investor might consider buying property & turn it in roommate. This also I can manage for you or some else.
Building a laneway house in Ontario, Canada can provide numerous financial, environmental and social benefits: – Increased property value – Generate rental income – Tax credits and incentives from the government of Ontario – Reduced energy consumption & greenhouse gas emissions – Closer living together to …
Yes, a green roof reduces energy cost, reduce greenhouse + carbon captured + water captured.
“Thanks to the new rules, homeowners can just build a laneway home without needing site planning approval and rezoning permission, as long as they apply for a business permit and meet specific criteria,” says Lynda Macdonald, director of Community Planning in the Toronto and East York District.

option conversion of main property in unit,
Bill 23 a game changer: For owners who wants to convert their property in 6 units or more.
Bill 23 allows immediate amendments to municipal Official Plans and Zoning By-Laws. Bill 23 no longer requires public meetings for Plans of Subdivision and prevents third party Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) appeals on Consent and Minor Variance applications.
What are the benefits of Bill 23?
Bill 23 in Ontario introduces significant changes to the Planning Act2 to create expanded “as of right” development rights for small scale residential development, regulate the use of inclusionary zoning, require municipalities to be more flexible with parkland dedications, limit the application of site plan control, reduce considerably development fees. more info in the link below.
