Municipal Fast-Track
ABOUT
Fast-Track
The Fast-Track program is a specific offering for municipalities that provides a framework for an accelerated approval process for middle housing projects, thereby reducing obstacles to entry for developers, minimizing risk, and ultimately increasing the supply of middle housing.
No two municipalities are the same, so we craft solutions that are built to fit.
mddl has led the way for designing and implementing municipal Fast Track programs across Canadian cities to reduce red tape and development risk by creating pre-approved designs with accelerated approvals.
