What It Is

What is a multiplex suite?

A detached structure that may accommodate multiple independent dwelling units where the property and municipality permit the proposed form. It’s a way to create several separate homes on one lot — for rental income, multi-generational living or long-term investment. What your property can support depends on zoning, lot size, setbacks, servicing and access, which is exactly what our property assessment confirms.

Garage suites and garden suites remain Elevate Garage Suites’ primary offerings. If a single backyard home suits your lot better, compare a garage suite or a garden & backyard suite.

Who a multiplex suite may be right for

Owners of lots where zoning and site conditions may permit more than one backyard dwelling unit
Investors exploring multiple independent rental units on one property
Homeowners housing several family members, each with a separate unit
Owners who want feasibility confirmed before committing to a design
