Select your model
After assessing your property, we'll recommend mddl approved housing options that will get the most out of your lot. If your lot is eligible, we will connect you with available and pre-vetted housing designs to simplify your land development journey.

ABOUT

What makes a lot a candidate?

The mddl property assessment will do a lot of the thinking for you, but it's important to understand that there are other factors that may affect the eligibility of your site. Whether its the presence of environmental hazards to slopes on your site and off-site improvements, treat these results as the first step, not the last.
Zoning
Different municipalities have different zoning categories, some of which are more (or less) favourable for the development of mddl housing.
Laneways
Access to an alley or laneway or owning a corner lot can make it much easier to develop middle housing. We're connecting you with suitable designs that suit different lot types.
Lot Size
After assessing your property, we'll recommend mddl approved housing options that will get the most out of your lot. If your lot is eligible, we will connect you with available and pre-vetted housing designs to simplify your land development journey.
Infrastructure
The placement of power lines and the availability of critical infrastructure may present challenges for new middle developments.
