Where these applications stand
Of 116 applications in Ward 20 Scarborough Southwest, 75 have an issued permit, 17 are still under review, and 24 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
Counts new homes added, not homes in the finished building. Demolishing a house and building a fourplex in its place adds three, not four.
Permits filed by year
By application date. The current year is partial, so it is not comparable to a full one.
What builders declared it would cost
Across 80 projects in Ward 20 Scarborough Southwest that state both a value and between two and six new homes, the declared construction cost runs from $500,000 at the 25th percentile to $900,000 at the 75th, with a median of $700,000.
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
Of the 116 projects in Ward 20 Scarborough Southwest, 82 have been issued. Those took a median of 104 days from application, with a quarter issued within 67 days and a quarter taking longer than 198. 34 are still waiting and are not in that median.
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.
