How It Works
- Enter an address in the search bar on the map further down this page.
- Lots inside an approved ward highlight beige; lots outside highlight grey.
- Save or share a permalink with your design-build partner.
Why Sixplexes Matter
- Unlock more rental income: doubling unit count on the same footprint boosts cash flow and spreads risk.
- Future-proof your exit strategy: multi-unit houses stay in demand even if single-detached prices cool.
- Help solve the housing crunch: the city's Housing Action Plan targets 285,000 new homes by 2031, and low-rise infill like sixplexes is a key pillar of getting there.

Frequently Asked Questions
As of City Council's June 26, 2025 by-law, sixplexes are permitted as-of-right in nine pilot wards, plus the Ward 23 (Scarborough North) area where the original pilot was already in place. The remaining wards can opt in individually. Enter your address in the tool below for an instant eligibility check on a specific property.
Type your address into the map tool below. Properties inside an approved ward highlight beige and are eligible as-of-right; properties outside an approved ward highlight grey and would need the ward to opt in, or a separate zoning approval, before a sixplex could be built.
Under the current pilot, eligible properties can host up to six residential units. This builds on Toronto's 2023 reform, which allowed up to four units as-of-right on most residential lots citywide.
