This single-family bungalow in Oakwood Village is being converted into a spacious fourplex with a two-storey top-up. To maximize square footage on the small lot, a cantilever design was used for the top-up, increasing usable space on the upper floors while maintaining the same building footprint.

This single-family home in Davenport Village was torn-down to make way for a brand new spacious fourplex. We are well underway with construction, currently in the framing process. The framing of this particular build has metal studs attached directly to the concrete foundations that extends the entire height of the building.

Plexcon Construction is currently executing a comprehensive redevelopment project in Oakwood Village, Toronto, converting an existing single-family bungalow into a purpose-built fourplex with an additional laneway suite at the rear of the property. This project showcases our expertise in urban infill construction in Toronto, structural retrofitting, and multiplex conversions.

Project Scope and Structural Modifications

The existing bungalow underwent a full underpinning process, extending the basement depth to 8 feet to accommodate increased ceiling height and improved livability. A top-up addition was also constructed, adding two new storeys above the existing structure. The design includes an intentional architectural overhang at the side elevation, enhancing usable floor area on the upper levels. 

Laneway Suite Integration

At the rear of the property, a new laneway home is being developed in compliance with the City of Toronto’s Laneway Housing Guidelines. This detached secondary dwelling will provide an additional rental unit with its own independent access and utility connections, optimizing site density and creating long-term value for the property owner.

Project Highlights

• Full underpinning of existing basement to 8 feet

• Two-storey vertical addition with engineered structural framing

• Overhang integrated into the top-up design for additional floor space.

• Construction of a laneway suite for supplementary rental income

• Comprehensive structural, mechanical, and architectural coordination for multiplex compliance

Once complete, this redevelopment will deliver five modern residential units, four within the primary structure and one in the laneway home, offering a solution in response to Toronto’s growing demand for urban housing intensification.

This project shows Plexcon Construction’s commitment as a leading Toronto construction company specializing in multiplex conversions and residential infill developments. By combining construction expertise with a deep understanding of local building regulations, we ensure every project optimizes space, complies with codes, and meets modern urban living needs.

We’re excited to share one of our latest major redevelopment projects, a fourplex and garden suite conversion in Leaside that reimagines an existing two-storey home into a modern, multi-unit property with optimized living space and rental potential.

Project Overview

This project involves a complete transformation of a traditional two-storey home into a fourplex, along with the addition of a self-contained garden suite in the rear. The new design maximizes density while maintaining aesthetic harmony with the surrounding neighbourhood, a great example of how thoughtful construction can support Toronto’s growing housing needs.

Scope of Work

The scope of this project includes several major structural and architectural undertakings:

• 1-Storey Top-Up Addition:
  We’re adding an entirely new third storey above the existing two-storey structure. This top-up will provide additional living space and enable the home to function as a fourplex with separate units across each level.

• Full Rear Extension:
  The rear wall of the home will be fully blown out, extending the building footprint to an impressive total length of 55 feet. This extension requires new footings and foundation work, and will continue seamlessly from the basement up through all storeys.

• Underpinning for Greater Basement Height:
  The basement is being underpinned to achieve a clear 8-foot ceiling height, providing a comfortable and functional lower-level unit while ensuring long-term structural integrity.

• Garden Suite Conversion:
  The existing rear garage will be converted into a garden suite, creating an additional independent living space at the back of the property. This unit will offer privacy and flexibility, ideal for rental income or multi-generational living.

Once complete, this project will showcase what’s possible when thoughtful design meets solid construction expertise. It’s more than just an addition, it’s a full redesign of an existing property into a smart, income-generating urban asset.

Stay tuned for updates as we share progress photos and behind-the-scenes details throughout the build.

In the heart of Parkdale, this project transforms a traditional three-storey home into a functional and spacious fourplex, thoughtfully designed to meet the growing demand for multi-unit living in Toronto’s west end.

Each of the four self-contained units has been carefully planned to provide a minimum of 1,000 square feet of living space, ensuring residents enjoy the comfort and scale typically found in single-family homes. Every unit features a full kitchen and bathroom, combining modern convenience with efficient layouts that maximize both style and practicality.

The conversion preserves the structural integrity of the original building while introducing contemporary finishes, upgraded systems, and optimized floor plans to enhance livability. This balance of character and modernization makes the property a standout example of how existing housing stock can be reimagined to deliver quality multi-unit residences.

This fourplex not only increases density in a highly desirable neighbourhood but also creates versatile, spacious homes that serve a wide range of urban lifestyles.
