The missing middle typically refers to buildings that have a higher density than a single-family house and a lower density than a mid-rise buildingHyper-density is becoming the name of the game in Toronto with each application for a towering new condo development.
The project is an initiative of CreateTO, the City’s real estate agency, who is working with its municipal partners to advance its planning efforts. “In the battle to bring more missing-middle housing to neighbourhoods across Toronto, I put up my hand as a local councillor to bring a missing-middle pilot project to my community in the East End,” says City Councillor Brad Bradford.
“The pilot project at 72 Amroth, led by the City and CreateTO, will build this type of housing on city-owned land to show that it can be done,” says Bradford. “The project will also identify the other policy challenges that need to be resolved so that we can make it easier, faster, and more affordable to build these types of buildings across Toronto.
