Technically, a laneway home is an ADU – or an Additional Dwelling Unit. It is a detached secondary unit on your existing property. Originally it gained popularity on the west coast of Canada, especially in the Metro Vancouver area, but the province of Ontario made them legal in 2018, and now they are a growing reality in Windsor and Essex County! and Essex County!
Yes, the City of Windsor changed their bylaws to reflect the provincial More Homes, More Choice amendments to the Planning Act (more information here: https://www.ontario.ca/page/more-homes-more-choice-ontarios-housing-supply-action-plan). Our homes are all in compliance with the Ontario Building Code. All properties in the city of Windsor need to be in compliance with property-specific by-laws, which we can help you navigate. An overview of the City of Windsor ADU policy can be found here: https://www.citywindsor.ca/residents/planning/Land-Development/Pages/Additional-Dwelling-Units-Second-Residential-Units.aspx
Yes – we offer financing options or connection to other financial institutions, such as credit unions, if you need help.
There are several zoning bylaws that come into effect to determine if it’s possible to have a Laneway Home or an ADU. By right, all zoning districts that allow for single family dwellings now permit 2 additional units (one attached and one detached). A lot of factors come into play (like lot coverage, square footage of main dwelling, and required parking), so we are happy to do an initial assessment to determine your property’s buildable area and what’s possible.

Typically, services (electricity, water, and gas) are supplied from the main dwelling. When extending services from the main house, there are many considerations to make sure that the existing services can accommodate the incoming demand. These homes cannot be severed and sold on their own and must be part of the lot with the main dwelling.
Laneway Homes are good for cities. They are good for homeowners, who can invest and create a new income stream or provide space for family members. They are good for renters, as they provide more options at a potentially more affordable rate. They are good for the city, as more cities need to provide density in urban neighbourhoods to avoid the infrastructure and environmental costs of low density sprawl.
- Create Extra Income
Some homeowners use their laneway home to generate income from renters or vacationers as a way to help with their mortgage or to create retirement income. - Boost Property Value
A property’s resale value can increase well above the cost of building your home, sometimes as much as $100,000. - Improve A Home’s Re-Saleability
A potential rental unit will make a home more attractive, and affordable, to buyers, especially in certain parts of the city. - Add Affordable Rental Housing
Laneway homes can provide market-rate rentals in single-family neighbourhoods close to transit, amenities, jobs, and an urban lifestyle. They are one of the most affordable options to create more units with our current market. - Makes Laneways Safer
With more ‘eyes’ on the lane, Laneway Homes help to elevate alleyways and make them safer and more attractive places. - Retain Neighbourhood Character
Built in the backyard and designed to look like a small version of the main house, laneway homes don’t affect the curb appeal and character of older single-family neighbourhoods with their lovely tree-lined streets and turn-of-the-century homes. - More Energy Efficient
Small homes that are built within established neighbourhoods use existing infrastructure and therefore use less resources to add efficient density to our city. Green-build features, energy efficient appliances and heating systems, as well as solar panels can also be added to potentially make these net-zero builds.
