Edward Street | New Build, Triplex & 6plex

Trenton

Property Type: Vacant Land (Post-Severance)

Project Overview:
This project began with a single piece of land—and a vision for higher density. After guiding the client through the severance process, we successfully split the parcel into two separate lots, each with its own development potential. From there, we designed and are now executing two ground-up multi-unit buildings: a triplex on one lot and a 6plex on the other—resulting in 9 legal dwelling units across the site.

Scope & Strategy:

• Managed the full severance process, including zoning review, municipal approvals, and servicing separation.

• Designed two distinct buildings optimized for their respective lots—one with a smaller footprint and urban infill sensibility (triplex), the other a denser mid-rise-style 6plex.

• Coordinated new utility servicing, grading, parking, and fire access routes for both buildings in accordance with local zoning and the Ontario Building Code.

Challenges Solved:

• Navigated lot coverage, frontage, and density requirements post-severance to maximize buildable area.

• Designed both buildings for long-term durability, efficient construction, and high rental appeal.

• Balanced site circulation and privacy between the two properties while ensuring compliance with municipal engineering standards.

Investor Benefits:

• Transformed a single parcel into two income-producing properties with a total of 9 units.

• Added long-term rental value through new construction and increased density.

• Designed for efficient build costs and strong tenant turnover through smart layouts and durable finishes.

Current Status:
Building permit drawings complete. Engineering Phase is next!
