587C&D Oakwood Avenue (just south of Eglinton.) 3 unit semi with 3 bedroom garden suite. Looks like part of 3 lot development so 12 units overall. And this may be the first example of a sfd lot being divided perpendicular to the street.

These pretty much all pre-dated the existence of this thread, which is why I have not posted them here. The dental one was finished up only quite recently, though. Most of them have been completed only since the pandemic, though, so it is a trend, albeit one that pre-dated council's move to make multiplexes available as of right.
That first one is pretentiously branded (with permanent exterior signage) "Posh Haus"

Is there a rule against masonry for these projects? The cladding is almost always some cheap substitute like corrugated metal, EIFS, siding, etc.

The Star just did a story on this property, link below. It's paywall'd, but it says that this was possible now that the new zoning rules are in effect.
This Toronto multiplex has four units, including a garden suite. They’re all for sale — separately
The property is set up as a condominium and offers an "attractive new option" for homebuyers, says a prominent urban planner.

Hamilton has a report going to Planning Committee April 16th where they indicate staff will aim to make adding SDUs more accessible, including providing a library if permit ready design templates for SDUs and bringing the permitting and approval process under one team. I'm curious if Toronto went through a similar exercise?

How does this work as separate units--is it basically a mini condo? How does common structural maintenance get managed.The Star just did a story on this property, link below. It's paywall'd, but it says that this was possible now that the new zoning rules are in effect.

Yeah it's a mini-condo, and all owners form the 'board' to make decisions. More involved than normal, but that also partly explains the much lower maintenance fees.
One of the units seems to have just sold for $980k for around 1,500SF. If developers can make money on these at around $650/foot, hopefully we'll see more of them

I am not overly concerned for a few reasons. The first is that there is likely an appeals process. Second is that this is not going to be the last of these types of applications. The final one is that many of these same protesters are going to begin to subdivide their own houses because the cost of not doing so is too high.
There are also several ways around this. 4 units are allowed as-of-right so build 4 very large ‘single units’ that can be subdivided at a later date. Or build four units with really big garages that happen to have all the required fittings for a unit. Easy. Remember that opponents to this are found so for emotional reasons so logic will have zero effect!
Anyways if you think that a change in the number of units of the same use is contentious wait until the first application for a café or ground floor office pops up!!!

$650 psf is pretty exciting from a housing affordability standpoint, given what highrise condos are going for.
