Quality rental housing at the neighbourhood scale
FAMILY 1
Five family-sized rentals in a vibrant Toronto neighbourhood. Designed from the ground up for families who need space to grow.
Three-bedroom homes with real storage, outdoor space, and room for life to happen.
The Missing Middle
It's not just about buildings—it's about people. The missing middle isn't just the neighbourhood-scale homes we love in our city, it's the missing middle class. Families shouldn't have to leave Toronto to afford a home.
We build 5-10 unit buildings in established neighbourhoods. Our experience in high-rise development taught us what's broken—now we're using that knowledge to deliver new housing faster.
Buy Land
We target as-of-right sites that permit neighbourhood-scale buildings—no rezoning required.
Build Homes
A decade of industry experience and our tech-enabled process delivers new housing in 12-18 months from acquisition.
Rent Homes
Quality rental housing for families who want to stay in the neighbourhoods they love.

Neighbourhood
Scale Housing
We believe great cities are made of great neighbourhoods. NBRS (pronounced "neighbours") builds quality rental housing that integrates seamlessly into the communities we serve.
Smaller, distributed projects. Thoughtful design. Buildings that look like they belong—because they do.
We're here to prove that rental housing can be beautiful, functional, and good for the neighbourhood.
