Real talk - we've spent years figuring out what actually matters when you're sizing up a property. This isn't just some fancy dashboard with pretty charts. These are the tools we use daily to make sense of Toronto's complex zoning rules and site constraints.
Drop in your property address and we'll pull up everything - zoning codes, setback requirements, height restrictions. Saves you like 3 hours of digging through city databases.
Honestly, this tool's been a lifesaver. Drag the sliders around and watch how building parameters shift based on Toronto's bylaws. It's like having the city's entire planning department in your browser.
Based on current inputs, here's what you're looking at. Keep in mind these are ballpark figures - there's always some wiggle room when you talk to the city planners.
Projects over 3 stories need this - and yeah, it takes about 2 weeks to get done properly.
Site's within 50m of a heritage property. Not a dealbreaker but you'll need extra documentation.
You're near a subway station - might qualify for density bonuses if you play it right.
Toronto's got like 50+ different zoning designations and honestly, they're all a bit cryptic. We've translated the most common ones into actual human language.
This is your bread-and-butter urban zoning. Ground floor retail or commercial space, residential units above. Pretty flexible with what you can do.
We stack up all the constraint layers - utilities, easements, setbacks, you name it. Helps you see what's actually buildable.
What've similar projects been getting approved for nearby? We pull recent precedents so you know what's realistic.
From application to approval, we'll give you a realistic timeline. Spoiler: it's probably longer than you think.
