Laneway

We design and build fully legal Laneway Suites across Ontario — helping homeowners and investors turn underused laneways into income, security, and long-term value.

What is a Laneway Suite?

A Laneway Suite is a self-contained, secondary home built behind your main residence and accessed from a rear laneway. Designed for privacy, it comes complete with its own kitchen, bathroom, and entrance.
Laneway Suites are ideal for:

Generating monthly rental income 
Independent family living spaces for aging parents
or adult children 
Adding equity and flexibility to your home 
Urban infill development that uses land efficiently

Why Building a Laneway Suite Feels Hard

Even though bylaws support Laneway Suites in many Ontario cities, most homeowners struggle to start because of:

Confusing zoning and lot eligibility rules 
Long, frustrating permit approval processes 
Coordination of designers, contractors, and inspections 
Uncertainty around costs and financing

At ARU, we eliminate those obstacles.
