(60) Toronto’s 2026 Housing Incentives: What Developers Need to Recalculate
About this episode
Toronto has announced residential development-charge reductions of 40% to 60%, backed by $1.5 billion in funding. But the commercial question is not simply how large the headline discount is—it is which projects qualify, how unit type changes the benefit, and whether the new rates materially improve feasibility. In this episode, Payam Noursalehi reviews the permit milestones, the implications for multiplex and apartment projects, the separate purpose-built rental incentive stream, and the questions owners should test before changing a project strategy. Program rules and dates may evolve; review the current City of Toronto materials for project-specific decisions.
