Homeowners across the GTA are facing higher mortgage payments and tighter rental markets. That’s why Additional Residential Units (ARU) specializes in Garden Suites, Laneway Homes, and Multiplex conversions — legal housing solutions that generate income, increase property value, and provide family flexibility.
What Makes a Garden Suite or Multiplex Legal?
Every ARU project is designed to meet GTA municipal requirements and the Ontario Building Code. Key compliance factors include:
- Proper permits from your city
- Architectural drawings tailored for approval
- Fire separation, ventilation, and egress standards
- Full inspections and compliance certificates
Why This Matters Financially
Unpermitted units risk fines, insurance denial, and resale problems. A legalized garden suite or multiplex instead delivers:
- Steady rental income to offset mortgages
- Property appreciation with multi-income homes
- Flexible space for family or tenants
The ARU Process
Legalizing or building a new unit is more than construction — it’s a managed system:
- Feasibility study and drawings
- Permit applications submitted and approved
- Construction phase with project management
- Final inspections and compliance certificate
Typical timelines:
- Garden Suites: 5–7 months
- Multiplex conversions: 3–5 months
Costs vary by property but are designed to pay for themselves through rental income.
