Best-in-Class Solutions for a World-Class City
Toronto is often referred to as ‘The City of Neighbourhoods’.
Unfortunately, the long-term vitality of our city is being tested; the result is increasingly homogeneous and segregated housing types and eroding affordability.
Realizing these challenges but also an opportunity to lead the change, we created MiddleHouse to provide an alternative to high-rise developments and urban sprawl. At MiddleHouse, we have a passion for cities, the environment, vibrant walkable neighbourhoods and projects that respect both neighbours and the street.
Looking at other world-class cities, multi-family boutique buildings on quiet residential streets are highly valued and provide a variety of housing options for different needs and price points.
Each MiddleHouse project we view as a house, designed to integrate respectfully into the streetscape in terms of massing, materials and privacy. We believe that individual front doors, large windows and outdoor transitional spaces help to create safe, friendly neighbourhoods and a sense of place.
Whether you're downsizing and want to remain in a tight-knit community, or you're looking to raise your children in a house-like environment on a quiet residential street, MiddleHouse is a fit. Each of our houses provides all the benefits of a single-family home but with zero maintenance and a lower price point, so you'll have more time and money to enjoy Toronto’s dynamic neighbourhoods.
