What is Laneway Housing?

A laneway house is a self-contained secondary home built on a property with laneway access. These homes offer a modern solution to Toronto’s growing demand for affordable housing, rental properties, and multi-generational living spaces.

At Maserat Developments, we specialize in turning underutilized laneways into functional and valuable living spaces. Whether you want to:

• Expand your family’s living area
• Generate rental income
• Create a private home office
• Accommodate multi-generational living

A laneway home is a wise investment that maximizes your property’s potential.
