About this Event
The Missing Middle Summit is where Toronto’s current and next generation of missing middle builders come together. As new planning permissions unlock opportunity, this fast-growing sector convenes at the leading event for learning, collaboration, and community.
Now in its fourth year, the Summit will feature expert-led sessions on everything from underwriting and financing to design, construction, and policy, offering a clear, actionable view of both the practical and strategic sides of missing middle development.
*Housing that is more dense than a detached house and less dense than a midrise building.
