Is a new multiplex being built on this Toronto address?

How this was built, and what it does not cover

This page counts new multiplex buildings only. A project is included when the City of Toronto classifies the work as a new building AND classifies the building as a two-unit or a three-or-more-unit house, detached or semi-detached. Both of those are the City's own classifications, not our reading of the permit description. Demolishing a house and building a multiplex in its place is included. Converting a house that already stands, adding a basement suite, building a laneway or garden suite, additions, interior alterations and repairs are all left out, which is why this count is much smaller than the total number of permits filed on two-unit and multi-unit houses. One building project usually files several permits, for the structure, the plumbing, the drains and the heating, so permits at the same address in the same year are grouped into one project. Every project is matched to the City's own address record using the address identifier the City puts on the permit. If that identifier does not point to exactly one address, or if it points to a different street number than the permit itself states, the project is left out rather than published at a guessed address. The ward and the former municipality come from that City address record.

• •The list covers permits that are still open and permits the City has closed. A permit that appears in both records is counted once.
• •Counting starts 1 January 2024. Toronto's multiplex by-law took effect 12 May 2023, so permits filed during the first seven months of the by-law are not in these totals.
• •Only new buildings are counted. A house converted into a multiplex, a basement suite added to a house, and a laneway or garden suite are all real missing-middle homes, but they are not new multiplex buildings and are not in these numbers.
• •A project is included based on the building type and the type of work the City assigns it. A new multiplex the City filed under a different building type is not counted here, even if its description mentions one.
• •A project is left out when the address identifier on the permit points to a different street number than the permit itself states. There is no way to tell which of the two addresses is correct, and naming the wrong house is worse than leaving the project out.
• •Declared value is the construction cost the applicant wrote on the application. It is not a sale price, it is not the final cost of the build, and it does not include the land.
• •Unit counts are the new homes a permit says it will add. Plumbing, drain and heating permits usually leave that blank, so fewer permits state a unit count than the total number of permits.
• •The headline number counts separate building projects, not buildings. 89 of 743 addresses have more than one project on record, which accounts for all 107 of the difference between the 850 projects and the 743 addresses. Of those, 24 filed in more than one calendar year; the rest filed more than once in the same year, usually because the City issued separate permit numbers for separate buildings on one lot.
• •Permits are grouped by address and by the year they were filed. Where an owner files for a multiplex and a separate garden suite on the same lot in the same year, both count as one project, using the higher unit count and the higher declared value. This happened at 571 Oakwood Ave, 84 Kings Park Blvd and 108 Clovelly Ave in 2026.
• •Wards use Toronto's current 25-ward map, taken from the City's address record. A permit filed before a ward boundary changed is shown under the ward its address sits in today.
