Show Notes

This week we sit down with Toronto architect and developer Noam Hazan, the guy calling the "missing middle" the most alive part of Canadian real estate. After designing for global firms like Foster + Partners and Richard Meier, Noam now helps regular people turn single lots into fourplexes, sixplexes, and garden suites. We get into his own project, the numbers behind MLI Select and the HST rebate, the rise of the "citizen developer," and how to actually make these deals pencil.
