For decades, real estate in Toronto has been dominated by high-rises and single-family homes — but there’s a huge gap in between. That gap is called the Missing Middle, and it’s finally being unlocked.
In this talk, Brian Dorr (CEO of Dorr Capital & founder of RealAlt Investments) explains:
– How Bay Street lending strategies are being opened up to Main Street investors.
– Why the Missing Middle (duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, sixplexes) is the most important housing shift in a generation.
– How federal, provincial, and municipal governments are working together with new incentives — no HST, no development charges, as-of-right zoning, and CMHC MLI Select financing.
– Why small-scale multiplexes are the future of affordable, family-friendly housing in Toronto.
This isn’t just about investment — it’s about reshaping our neighbourhoods and solving Canada’s housing crisis with smarter, faster, more livable solutions.
