Finding the property needle in the municipal haystack: a LandLogic case study
Canada’s housing market is under significant pressure. Limited supply, persistent affordability challenges, and a sluggish economy continue to exacerbate the crisis. Yet, for those in real estate—whether land developers, builders, or city planners—there are opportunities to create impactful, profitable projects that help address these issues.
At the heart of these opportunities is the Residential Multiplex Infill (RMI) initiative, an innovative approach designed to unlock the potential of underutilized properties. By converting these sites into multi-unit rental housing, RMI delivers tangible benefits for municipalities, real estate professionals, and communities, while offering strong returns for developers and investors.
What is residential multiplex infill?
RMI or Residential Multiplex Infill focuses on identifying properties ripe for multi-unit residential development. It is particularly suited for professionals looking to streamline project feasibility and align with government incentives. The advantages include:
Government funding: Programs such as CMHC’s MLI Select provide financial incentives, making such projects more viable.
Streamlined zoning: Properties with as-of-right zoning reduce the complexities of lengthy approvals.
Optimized ROI: With the right properties, RMI offers builders, developers, and investors reduced risk and improved profitability.
However, the primary hurdle lies in identifying viable sites at scale. That’s where LandLogic plays a transformative role.

LandLogic empowers real estate professionals to act faster and smarter by simplifying site selection, zoning analysis, and financial projections—turning complex decisions into quick, data-driven actions.
How LandLogic powers smarter development decisions
LandLogic is reshaping how real estate professionals approach property selection. By digitizing and consolidating municipal zoning and planning data, LandLogic enables users to analyze entire cities efficiently to pinpoint opportunities that meet zoning, funding, and financial criteria.
For example, One Ontario has been using the LandLogic platform to drive their RMI initiatives in Toronto. By leveraging LandLogic’s data capabilities, they’ve identified underutilized parcels where as-of-right zoning for multiplexes aligns perfectly with CMHC’s funding requirements for five-unit rental developments.
Traditionally, a process like this might take weeks, requiring consultants, realtors, and manual research. With LandLogic, it takes minutes, delivering:
Comprehensive zoning details.
Infrastructure and site constraints.
Preliminary financial projections.
