Mortgages Designed for Redeveloping an Existing Home into Multiple Housing Units

What is the RBC Multi-Unit Construction Mortgage Program?

The RBC Multi-Unit Construction Mortgage Program helps provide mortgage financing to Canadian homeowners looking to add up to five new housing units to their property by building new units or retrofitting their existing home. This could be by redeveloping a current single-family or secondary home into multiple units, or the construction of a secondary structure that sits on the property.

What sorts of construction projects does the program cover?

Eligible mortgage financing scenarios under the RBC Multi-Unit Construction Mortgage Program could include:

  • Conversion of single home to duplex, triplex or multiplex
  • Standalone buildings on your property, such as ADUs (accessory dwelling units) like laneway homes or garden suites
  • Factory constructed mobile/chattel homes that are not permanently fixed to the ground but located on your property
  • Modular homes that are permanently fixed to your property
