Unlock the full potential of your Toronto bungalow by converting it to a multiplex

Are you making the most out of your Toronto home? There’s no better time than the present to unlock your house’s full potential, and there’s no better crew to convert it into a multiplex than GTA-based Plexcon Construction.

Plexcon Construction is a company addressing Toronto’s “Missing Middle.” The Missing Middle is a term used to describe how low-rise, multi-rise, and multi-unit housing types like duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are often absent in urban neighbourhoods dominated by high-rise condos or single-family homes.

It’s causing middle-income families and young professionals to be priced out of homeownership. And while Toronto’s population is growing, the demand for housing will only increase — but multiplex conversions could be the solution.

Multi-family conversions

Local zoning laws allow homeowners up to four units on residential lots, and a fifth unit through a garden suite or laneway home. Plexcon Construction offers end-to-end construction to give your bungalow a few extra units to rent out or support your growing family.

Investors love Plexcon because they’re more than just a construction company — they’re a conversion and building partner that can help you avoid committee delays by designing within zoning limits, maximizing unit counts without triggering costly variants, managing multi-phase permit applications to reduce development charges, and more.

What to expect

A key Plexcon success story originally stood as a mid-20th-century one-storey bungalow on a 2,580 square-foot lot with a full basement and detached garage. Sure, the basement could be rented out, but overall, it was massively underutilizing its full development potential.

Plexcon transformed the Oakwood Village home into a fourplex, plus a garden suite. The large units attracted younger families, and the owners were able to trust Plexcon to navigate complex processes and avoid costly delays. Each new unit comes with its own two bathrooms, a laundry room, and a full kitchen that aren’t shared with the other units. It truly is four homes in one!

The future of Toronto living requires building up slightly to unlock the Missing Middle building types.
