Where these applications stand

Of 84 applications in Ward 18 Willowdale, 57 have an issued permit, 15 are still under review, and 12 were refused, cancelled or abandoned. A filed application is not a permit, so the totals on this page count applications rather than approvals.

Taken from the City's own status value on each permit, not from which dataset it appears in.

New homes each project adds

City recorded 0 1
1 new home 6
2 new homes 16
3 new homes 9
4 new homes 52

Counts new homes added, not homes in the finished building. Demolishing a house and building a fourplex in its place adds three, not four.

What builders declared it would cost

This is the figure the applicant wrote on the permit application. It is not a sale price, it is not the final cost of the build, and it does not include the land.

How long the City took to issue

Application to issue, from the City's own dates. Projects still under review are excluded rather than counted at how long they have waited so far, which would understate the real wait.
