Lately, I’ve been closely watching how small-scale infill is shaping housing in West Toronto and similar established neighbourhoods. While large developments still drive most new construction, it’s the quieter, incremental changes—like adding homes on existing lots—that are steadily expanding our housing options. With recent zoning updates allowing more flexibility, we’re seeing a shift: new builds are becoming denser, and ground-oriented homes are a smaller piece of the puzzle. It’s a trend that matters, especially for those seeking that elusive “missing middle” housing. Of course, the pace of change still hinges on fees, approval timelines, building rules, and, as always, financing. As someone who’s worked on both the construction and policy sides, I see small-scale infill as an important tool for both buyers and sellers navigating today’s tight market. The long-term impact will come down to whether these projects stay financially viable—but for now, it’s encouraging to see more options emerging for our community.
