Garden Suite North York

Professional Garden Suite in North York

Building a garden suite in North York? Konstruction Group delivers the framing, insulation, and drywall that form the structural backbone of your backyard dwelling. North York homeowners in Willowdale, Don Mills, Bayview Village, and Newtonbrook are taking advantage of Toronto's garden suite rules to add livable space to their properties. We handle the structural trades — from framing through paint-ready walls — so your project stays on schedule.

North York Garden Suite Regulations

North York follows Toronto's city-wide garden suite zoning rules, which were legalized in February 2022 as part of the Official Plan update. The maximum allowable footprint is 60 square metres (approximately 645 square feet). Height is determined by the distance from the rear lot line — 4 metres when the suite is within 7.5 metres of the rear lot line, and up to 6 metres for a one-storey structure set further back. A building permit is required and all construction must meet Ontario Building Code standards. North York has many neighborhoods with mature lots — particularly in Willowdale and Don Mills — where generous rear yards make garden suites feasible within required setbacks.

Why North York Is Well-Suited for Garden Suites

North York combines urban convenience with the lot sizes needed for garden suites. Established neighborhoods like Willowdale, York Mills, and Lawrence Park North feature deep lots that were subdivided decades ago when generous rear yards were standard. These properties often have 30- to 50-foot-wide lots with depths exceeding 120 feet, leaving ample room behind the primary dwelling. North York is also a transit-rich area — proximity to the Yonge subway line and multiple bus routes makes garden suites attractive to renters who work across the city. Don Mills, Lansing, and Bathurst Manor offer similar lot conditions at relatively lower property values, making the return on investment especially compelling for homeowners in those areas.
