Infill Development

Building smarter in established neighbourhoods

Overview

Built around the realities of your site.

Infill development is one of Edmonton's most strategic ways to grow. We help you navigate the City's infill overlay zones, setback requirements, and design guidelines to maximize your lot's potential — whether you're building a single detached home, duplex, or small multi-unit on an existing urban lot.

Edmonton's mature neighbourhoods — from Glenora and McKernan to Spruce Avenue and Bonnie Doon — are prime candidates for infill. Under Edmonton's Zoning Bylaw, properties in RF3, RF4, RF5, and RF6 zones permit skinny homes, duplexes, semi-detached homes, and row housing. Our team stays current with the City's evolving infill design guidelines to ensure every project is optimized for approval.

A successful infill project in Edmonton hinges on getting the site analysis right before design begins. We review lot dimensions, existing easements, mature neighbourhood overlay requirements, and EPCOR servicing constraints early — so there are no costly surprises mid-project. Whether you're planning a single-family infill on a 10-metre lot or a duplex in a transitional zone, we scope the project accurately from day one.

We've completed infill projects across Edmonton's central, north-central, and west-central neighbourhoods. That hands-on experience with local permit reviewers and EPCOR means we know what they're looking for — and how to get your project to approval faster.

How It Works

1

Site & Zoning Review

We review your lot dimensions, zoning designation, and applicable overlay zones (mature neighbourhood, transit-oriented, etc.) to establish what's permitted and identify any variances needed.

2

Concept Design

We develop massing studies and floor plan concepts that maximize density while respecting neighbourhood context, setbacks, and the City's infill design guidelines.

3

Design Development

Full architectural drawings are produced — floor plans, elevations, sections — refined for permit submission and construction.

4

Permit Submission & Coordination

We prepare and submit both development and building permit applications, coordinate with the City and EPCOR, and manage any deficiency responses until approval.
