Multi-Unit Rowhouse: GROVENOR TRIPLEX WITH SECONDARY SUITES

Located in the vibrant neighbourhood of Grovenor, this six-unit building transforms a once problem house into a modern, community-focused development that combines design, affordability, and functionality on a narrow 42x120-foot lot.

This triplex with secondary suites is designed with a modern farmhouse aesthetic, blending seamlessly with Grovenor's mature streetscape to balance timeless charm and contemporary appeal. Situated just three blocks from the future LRT station and within close proximity to a bike lane, this development offers residents excellent access to both transit and active transportation options.

The three principal residences span the main floor and second floor, each featuring two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an open-concept layout tailored to modern lifestyles. These residences provide direct access to a fully fenced backyard and a detached garage, offering privacy and functionality for families or professionals.

The three secondary suites, located in the basement, are thoughtfully designed one-bedroom units with independent entrances. These suites maximize natural light through well-placed windows and provide an affordable, self-contained living option for singles, students, or retirees, making homeownership or rental more accessible.

This Grovenor development exemplifies missing middle housing, delivering affordability and versatile, community-focused options. It enhances livability, aligns with the neighborhood’s character, and addresses the growing need for innovative, sustainable urban housing. By transforming a problem house into a modern, functional space, it is now serving the community better than ever. Its proximity to the future LRT station and bike lane makes it an ideal transit-oriented and bike-friendly housing solution.

Duplex: Garneau front-to-back duplex

Located in the neighbourhood of Garneau, this three storey front-to-back duplex on a 33-foot frontage provides a unique option for family-oriented living without a traditional basement suite.

Resembling an L-shape the principal residence extends over the secondary suite in the front to fully occupy the second and third floors. The basement and main floor are partitioned off and fully enclosed to allow for a generously sized four-bedroom suite that appeals to a wide variety of demographics. This allows the principal residence to have unimpeded access to the fully fenced backyard and detached garage, while providing ample sunlight and living space for the secondary suite found in the front on both the basement and main floor.
