Toronto is a unique city for Duplex and Triplex development.
Less than a year ago, On May 10, 2023, the Toronto City Council adopted the Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment to permit Duplex, Triplex, and Fourplex development citywide as a measure to solve the housing crisis. That opened a door for massive investment opportunities for regular homeowners and professional real estate players.
Investing in Duplex or Triplex
Suppose you own a small bungalow or detached house. In that case, it is an incredible opportunity to gain additional substantial income, which can help you achieve your bucket list: early retirement, the best education for the kids, or traveling around the globe. Most of the residential lots in Toronto can be transformed into rental properties without significant zoning battles or fees. Investing in rental properties is guaranteed income, which will be passed on to future generations.
Benefits of being a landlord
Duplex, Triplex, and Fourplex houses look like any regular Torontonian house on the street. It's not bigger than any neighboring custom home; you will hardly notice any difference with the naked eye. However, it splits into 2,3 or 4 apartments. Each apartment is an independent unit with its entrance, kitchen, washroom(s), and utilities. You can rent out all the units or keep one for yourself. It is like renting out a basement but four times more profitable!

What Our Clients Say About Duplex and Triplex
-
Wellcore, designed and built a large side and second floor addition, more than doubling the livable square footage. It was a large challenging project requiring excavation, tree removals and numerous surprises along the way. Some limited delays along the way, mostly unavoidable. Wellcore provided end to end service allowing us the right level of involvement. End result was incredible and could pass as a new house built at 50% more per square foot.

This was a large undertaking by our family. We essentially kept 3 walls and the roof. Everything else is new. Alex and his team were awesome. They guided us through the process (from inception, budgeting, permits, and construction). Of course, along the way, there were small hiccups that occurred (partially our fault) that required extra attention, but the Wellcore team guided us through everything and provided assurances to our family and our neighbours who were impacted by our project. The work was completed on time and on budget, which is a rarity in today's age. Thank you Alex for helping us reshape our house. We're pleased with the results and look forward to settling down in our modern home.

They not only built my beautiful house (almost) in time but also ALWAYS show up if there are anything to be patched/fixed even months after the house was built. Alex is extremely responsible which I believe is the MOST important when you are building a house.
We have interviewed a dozen of small and big contractors and when I met with Alex with his very detailed contract, my wife and I decided to go with Wellcore. More I hear about horror stories from people around me with their contractors (there are 2 houses on my street with 2 different builders have stopped building for more than 6 months), I realize that I was very lucky to find Alex. They not only built my beautiful house (almost) in time but also ALWAYS show up if there are anything to be patched/fixed even months after the house was built. Alex is extremely responsible which I believe is the MOST important when you are building a house. Anyone can build a house but I haven’t met that many responsible GC. Thanks again for building the beautiful house. I’m (almost) sick and tired of people taking pictures of my house and yelling “you have a beautiful house” daily. :P Special thanks to Vince, Nat and Eugene. It was fun building house with you.

Alex and his team at Wellcore made my vision become real. Just imagine one of those ancient downtown multi-tenant wrecks with "good bones". I had no idea I was in for a gut job! Thank goodness Alex was smart enough to anticipate what we would encounter and bid an adequate budget -- which he was vigilant about monitoring -- to make sure I always approved any "extras" before proceeding. My goal was to end up with 3 bedrooms, while turning another into a master suite/walk-in closet. This meant we had to fortify an attic floor and replace a dangerous staircase. Alex came with me before I bought the house to confirm this plan was feasible. It was only possible because he had the brilliant idea to flip the direction of 3 flights of stairs to provide safe, well-positioned access to all levels. The quality of the construction (yayyy Vince!) and the craftsmanship of the interior finishings is top-notch (and I am a very demanding customer). The team take real pride in the beauty of what they are creating. Alex never made me feel stupid or unreasonable, and always greeted me with a smile and a "can-do" attitude even when he knew I was going to ask him to adjust something! He always found an "in-budget" way to include a restoration feature, and affordable ways to solve a problem. And many thanks to Natalia for wonderful and endlessly patient design assistance. Plus, Wellcore handled all the drawings, permits, and inspections. I was so lucky to find this company and will definitely use them again.

We have completed two custom construction projects with Well Core Corporation. Staff is skilled, competent and have good customer service. They have completed everything in a timely manner, within budget and in a professional manner. We are very happy with their work and would definitely recommend them as a general contractor for private and industrial construction.
