What is infill?

Infill housing refers to the development of vacant or underutilized land within existing urban areas, often in older neighborhoods. As cities grow and space becomes limited, this approach offers an alternative to unsustainable suburban sprawl. While infill housing presents significant opportunities, it also comes with challenges that merit careful consideration. (from the Greenfield Community Newsletter)

For too long Edmonton was either single family homes or multi-story apartments. By legalizing more “missing middle” housing choices, a greater variety of options are under construction.

In Edmonton, the Zoning Bylaw regulates land use and development standards but does not dictate the ownership structure of residential properties. This means that 6-plex or 8-plex units can be either purchased as condominiums or owned by a single entity and offered as rental units.

The decision between selling individual units and renting them out is determined by the property owner or developer, not by the Zoning Bylaw.
