Webinar - EHON, Major Streets, and Mid-Rise Housing: Opportunities and Pitfalls

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

In the past few years, EHON and other initiatives have created significant opportunities for real estate development in the City of Toronto.

Join us on this free webinar to learn more about the new opportunities resulting from these changes and how to avoid the most common pitfalls that can come with them.

In this webinar, we cover:

  • What exactly are EHON and the Major Streets framework enabling?
  • Why mid-rise still remains difficult, even when policy appears supportive?
  • Where are the best opportunities for developers, owners, and builders?
  • The biggest pitfalls that can quietly kill feasibility.

Thank you.

Payam Noursalehi,
