Golfview Drive | 08 New Units
Collingwood
Project Type: New Construction | Semi-Detached Building | 8 Residential Units
Lot Strategy: Severed from 1 Lot into 2
Project Overview:
This brand-new development project is a masterclass in as-of-right intensification and multi-unit design efficiency. Originally a single parcel, our team successfully severed the lot into two, allowing for the construction of a new 2-storey semi-detached building—with 4 legal residential units per side, for a total of 8 fully legal, self-contained units.
Each side of the semi features:
2 Basement Units
1 Ground Floor Unit
1 Second Floor Unit
All designed under current zoning without variances, making this project fully as-of-right and eligible for CMHC MLI Select financing.
Scope & Strategy:
Designed two mirror-image 4-plexes (one on each newly severed lot)
Achieved 8-unit total build with no variances and maximum zoning efficiency
Allocated 4 parking spaces per side (8 total) in compliance with local requirements
Coordinated layouts, energy performance, and accessibility targets to align with CMHC’s MLI Select program for premium financing benefits
Integrated full basement design to unlock lower-level units with code-compliant egress, light, and privacy
Challenges Solved:
Combined lot severance, density maximization, and parking compliance into a clean build plan
Optimized for long-term rentability, energy efficiency, and insurance compliance
Designed for MLI Select qualification—balancing accessibility, affordability, and sustainability metrics
Investor Benefits:
8 brand-new, legal residential units ready for long-term financing and cash flow
Purpose-built for multi-tenant efficiency, reduced maintenance, and optimized NOI
Fully eligible for CMHC MLI Select program, providing up to 95% LTV and extended amortization
No rezoning or committee delays—construction to begin May 2025
Current Status:
Permit under review. Construction scheduled to start early May 2025.
