Garden suite

We design and build fully legal Garden Suites
across Ontario — helping homeowners and investors create rental income, family space, and long-term property value.

Why Homeowners Need Garden Suites

Owning a home in Ontario comes with rising mortgage rates, high property costs, and limited space for growing families. At the same time, rental demand is at an all-time high — and your backyard could be the answer.
A Garden Suite is a smart, legal way to:

  • Earn steady rental income to offset mortgage payments
  • Create an independent living space for aging parents or adult children
  • Boost property value and future-proof your home
  • Contribute to Ontario’s housing solutions without buying new land

The challenge? Zoning bylaws, permit approvals, and construction risks stop many homeowners before they even begin. That’s where ARU comes in.

Why Building a Garden Suite is Hard Without Experts

Even though bylaws allow Garden Suites in many Ontario cities, most homeowners never start because:

  • Zoning rules and lot requirements are confusing

  • Permit applications take months to navigate

  • Contractors and architects are hard to coordinate

  • Financing options aren’t always clear or accessible


With Additional Residential Units, you don’t have to worry — we’re your single partner from start to finish.
