“For those who think that we're ‘maxed out,’ here are the numbers to prove that we are far, far away from that.”over the past few years, Toronto is notorious for having restrictive zoning policies that rarely budge, with the lion’s share of its land zoned for single-family homes and not much else. As far asFounder Naama Blonder is concerned, zoning policy as it stands today translates to a missed opportunity when it comes to housing.
“We said that, okay, from all the under-utilized land that has room to develop, part of it will be heritage, or part of it will be owners that don't ever want to sell, or part of it will be facing a ravine and has some constraints on it,” Blonder notes, when speaking to how her team reached that 30% figure.
“And you will see in our models, we didn't any hyper, hyper density. That's really an important point,” Blonder also notes. “We accounted for the Toronto that we want to see, with much larger average unit sizes and much more average open space per unit. The towers there are 20, 30 storeys tall. Not that I'm saying there's no room for taller — absolutely, there's demand.
