Sixplex pilot wards — Toronto Multiplex FAQ

Where six units are allowed and how the pilot works.

Frequently asked questions

Which wards allow a sixplex in Toronto?

Six units are permitted as-of-right in nine EHON pilot wards. See the sixplex guide for the current list and the lots for sale in each.

Why is the sixplex limited to certain wards?

It's a pilot under the Expanding Housing Options in Neighbourhoods program; the city is phasing six-unit permissions and may expand them over time.

Can I build six units outside the pilot wards?

Not as-of-right — outside the pilot wards the limit is four units, though a garden suite or a major-street location can add more.

Is a sixplex worth it over a fourplex?

Often, because five-plus units unlocks MLI Select financing. But it costs more to build, so compare the proformas for your specific lot.

Can I add a garden suite to a sixplex?

On a deep enough lot, yes — a sixplex plus a garden suite is seven units.
