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.

Another happy homeowner

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.

Built a New House
We engaged WellCore Corporation for building a new house in Etobicoke. We interviewed many builders prior the start of project and WellCore was the most transparent and opened in the initial estimate allowing us as owners to have an influence in all phases of the project and in choosing all house finishes. During the project we were amazed with their patience regarding some neighbours that constantly harassed the crew during the building process. We as owners learned that building in our part of Etobicoke could be very challenging with hostile neighbours resisting any changes and city bureaucracy and their inspectors that are unreasonably picky in this part of the city. Honestly we really admired WellCore's professionalism dealing with many unreasonable requests from the city that were not based on written standards. Overall they provided excellent service and we are happy we went through this endeavour with them. We cordially recommend them for any major projects - new houses or major renovations.

Second & Third Story Addition
With three kids and one on the way, we had no choice but find a solution to our space constraints. Moving was not an option, so we contemplated renovating and expanding our existing dwelling. We interviewed numerous contractors and increasingly felt discouraged and defeated... until we met Alex and the Wellcore team. We signed a contract and soon realized that we made the right decision. They were professional, courteous, honest and responsive. Most importantly, we were on budget. We would recommend Wellcore to anyone with home renovation needs.
