MidUrban Developments

🛏️ What do you notice about this bedroom?

No, it’s not just the great staging job our stager did. 😉

Look closely at the window… This bedroom is actually in the basement.

Whenever possible, we design deep window wells to allow for full-size windows in our basement bedrooms. Instead of the small, high-up windows you typically associate with basement bedrooms, we want these spaces to feel bright, comfortable, and more like a bedroom you’d find on any other floor. ☀️

Combined with almost 9-foot ceilings, these design decisions make a big difference in how the space feels.

Forward-thinking development isn’t always about adding more. Sometimes it’s about making smarter decisions with the space you already have.👌

🏗️ Introducing Project Regina 

Our next development project and the latest addition to the MidUrban Developments portfolio.

This is the first look at what we’re building, and we’re excited to finally start sharing the journey with you.

More to come. 🚀

🛁 Designing With the End User in Mind

When we design our bathrooms, we’re always looking for ways to improve the overall appeal and functionality for the end user.

For this bathroom, a simple rearrangement of the layout allowed us to fit a double vanity, making better use of the space and creating a more functional bathroom. ✨

We also focus on the little details that elevate the look without unnecessarily driving up construction costs:

🚿 Built-in shower niches
🚽 One-piece toilets
🖤 Black fixtures
🪞 Frameless mirrors
✨ Under-mount sinks

These are all relatively cost-effective design choices, but together they create a more modern, polished bathroom that can make a real difference in tenant appeal.

🏡 Designed to Feel Like Home

One of our favourite parts of the Garden Suite isn’t even inside the unit. 🌿

We wanted this home to feel more like a small detached house, so we made the most of the outdoor space by creating a private backyard exclusively for the Garden Suite.

With a direct walkout from the unit, a patio area, grass space, and access to their parking spot, the outdoor space becomes an extension of the home rather than just an added feature. ☀️

There’s room to plant a little garden, give the kids a space to play, or set up a patio set and fire up the BBQ when friends and family come over. 🌱🧒🍔

More than just a place to live. A place that feels like your own. ❤️

Sometimes the best spaces aren’t the ones you see on the floor plan. 👀

When designing our units, we look for opportunities to make the most of every square foot. Sometimes that means rethinking a layout, reconfiguring a space, or finding a function for an area that might otherwise go unused.

This is a perfect example. What started as a small space became a dedicated work-from-home station with floating shelves and a desk that we provided for the tenant. 💻

It’s a small addition, but it adds functionality without sacrificing valuable living space.

Good design isn’t just about how much space you have. It’s about how you use it. 👊

✨ It’s the little details that can make a big difference.

When developing rental properties, we’re always looking for ways to add value without unnecessarily increasing construction costs.

A custom built-in feature like this fireplace is a great example. It’s not something that dramatically changes the cost of the project, but it can completely change how a space feels. 🔥

When tenants are comparing multiple homes, it’s often these small, thoughtful details that help one property stand out from the rest.

Our goal is to make strategic investments in the design and finishes that improve tenant appeal, help us lease faster, and create a home that tenants are excited to stay in.

Build smarter. Add value where it matters. 💪

🔥 100% OCCUPIED! 🔥

Five homes. Five families. One major milestone.

After months of planning, designing, building, navigating approvals, and plenty of unexpected challenges along the way, we’re officially fully leased and 100% occupied. 🙌

From breaking ground to welcoming our first tenants home, this project has been quite the journey. Seeing these homes go from an idea on paper to five occupied homes is something we’re incredibly proud of.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make it happen, from our investors and partners to our trades and everyone behind the scenes. 💪

Project Islington is officially FULLY LEASED. 🏡🏡🏡🏡🏡

And just like that... onto the next chapter. 👀
