Toronto's Housing Policy Changes: Toronto now allows sixplexes in select areas and is waiving development charges for up to 6 units per lot, saving developers approximately $50-80k per unit.

Nationwide Trend: This is part of a broader movement across Canada, with Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Ottawa, and Halifax also implementing multiplex-friendly zoning.
