Accessory Unit Starts

Excel - Publication

This data table product breaks out accessory unit starts from the apartment and other dwelling type category. This is done to obtain a better picture of true multi-family housing starts (defined as semi-detached, row, and apartment dwelling type categories combined). Data in this series is published quarterly for the following geography levels:

Census Metropolitan Areas (CMA),
Census Agglomerations (CA), and
standalone urban centres of 10,000 population or more.

Note: Accessory suite data in this table is dependent on accessory suites being known at the time a building permit is issued. If, after completion, accessory suites are identified they are captured as residential-to-residential conversion. Please refer to Housing Information Monthly Volume L for data on conversions.
