🚧🏙️ Helping Build More Homes Where People Need Them 🏡✨ We're playing a key role in transforming communities by scaling up multi-unit low-rise infill development! 🏢🏠 This strategy brings sustainable, community-focused housing closer to where people live, work, and learn—near jobs, schools, and transit hubs. 🚍🛤️ By leveraging underused spaces, municipalities can build vibrant neighborhoods and tackle the housing crisis head-on. Together, we're fostering walkable, livable communities that make cities stronger and more resilient. 💪 Let’s build better communities that people are proud to call home. 🙌 #HousingCrisis #InfillHousing #UrbanPlanning #AffordableHousing #SustainableCities #CommunityBuilding #SmartGrowth #CityDevelopment

🏡 The GTA housing crisis calls for urgent solutions. Despite a pressing housing crisis, the market has slowed down, with fewer people attending open houses. This paradox highlights a growing disconnect between housing needs and market dynamics. Many potential buyers are sidelined by high prices and uncertainty. Is there a housing supply crisis or not? https://lnkd.in/gRpr3RYf #GTAHousing #RealEstateSolutions #BuildingIN #SustainableCities #UrbanPlanning #HousingCrisis #InfillHousing #SmartGrowth #FutureCities

🏙️ BuildingIN: Boosting Local Growth & Investment! Did you know that BuildingIN infill projects not only drive development but also generate essential tax revenues? 💰 These revenues empower municipalities to make critical investments in infrastructure, public services, and community programs—keeping pace with growing, densified populations in older neighbourhoods. From better pedestrian pathways to greener walkable residential areas. BuildingIN plays a vital role in shaping vibrant, sustainable communities for the future. 🌍✨ #CityGrowth #SmartDevelopment #CommunityInvestment #BuildingIN #SustainableCities #UrbanPlanning

🏠 Rethinking Housing Solutions Many Canadian municipalities seem to be looking to ADUs (additional dwelling units) as the most promising solution to address low-rise housing supply challenges. While ADUs are a valuable part of the housing solution, they are a small piece of the puzzle. And ADU renovations and coach homes require complex custom permit applications that aren’t efficient for cities to process or owners to build. 🔍 The Bigger Picture: In Toronto and Ottawa, ADU implementation has been limited in scope. For example, in Toronto, since zoning changed two years ago to allow garden suites on most residential properties, only six have been built. Across Canada, 6.9% of the units built in 2022 were as a result of conversions for ADUs and this represented 4.5% of the housing that should have been built in 2022 according to the CMHC. The Reality: ADUs represent just a fraction of the new housing being built, and the overall supply is still falling short of our needs. The Positive Outlook: Repeatable 4-12 unit low-rise infill developments have the potential to meet housing demands at scale. This type of development can provide the densities we need to tackle the housing crisis effectively. 📈 Let’s shift the focus to scalable, repeatable solutions like multi-unit infill. By BuildingIN, we can make significant strides toward resolving our housing challenges. #HousingCrisis #UrbanDevelopment #InfillHousing #SmartGrowth #FutureCities #BuildingIN

At BuildingIN, we’re proud to partner with eight Canadian municipalities to address one of the most pressing challenges of our time: the housing supply crisis. This collaboration is not just about increasing the number of homes—it’s about reshaping urban growth to foster sustainable, vibrant, and inclusive communities. By working hand-in-hand with municipalities, we're implementing innovative urban planning strategies that meet housing needs while enhancing the social and economic fabric of our cities. Together, we’re not just building homes, but creating the foundation for a more resilient and prosperous future. #HousingCrisis #SustainableDevelopment #UrbanPlanning #AffordableHousing #Innovation #BuildingIN #CanadaHousing #CommunityDevelopment #UrbanGrowth

🏗️ Maximize Efficiency with Low-Rise Infill 🏡💡 Here’s why repeatable multi-unit low-rise infill is a game-changer: 💵 Cost-Effective Construction: Repeatable designs are efficient. The modular approach allows for faster construction and reduced costs per unit. Multi-unit homes are the most affordable to heat, cool, and maintain. Low-rise buildings can be constructed in “simple” wood framing. Infill uses existing serviced land and saves the cost of building new roads and extending infrastructure.  ⚡Swift and Scalable: Modular housing can be rapidly deployed, making it ideal for meeting housing needs quickly and effectively. Repeatable conventional construction is faster and more dependable.  🌿Sustainable Solutions: Low-rise infill promotes sustainable urban growth by utilizing existing spaces and reducing environmental impact through construction materials with lower embodied carbon. By choosing low-rise infill, we’re not just building homes; we’re creating vibrant, sustainable, equitable communities. #UrbanPlanning #HousingForecasting #CommunityDevelopment #SmartGrowth #MunicipalPlanning #BuildingIN #UrbanDevelopment #InfillSolutions #SustainableCities
