Ottawa's Construction and Design Home Builders by The TGi Group

One Vision, Multiple Expertise – The TGi Group of Companies

The real estate division of The TGi Group focuses on building The Missing Middle, by developing affordable rental units in Ottawa and surrounding areas, helping solve the housing crisis while generating construction jobs.

What is the Missing Middle?

The “missing middle” is a term used in housing and urban planning to describe a range of housing types that fall between single-family homes and large apartment buildings. These housing options include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, and small apartment buildings. The idea is that these types of homes provide more diverse and affordable living options, helping to create more inclusive and walkable communities. It’s a way to address the gap in housing availability and affordability in many cities.

Key Characteristics of Missing Middle Housing:

Medium Density: Typically 2 to 4 storeys tall.

Human-Scale: Fits into existing low-rise neighborhoods without drastic changes to character.

Multiple Units: Includes duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, townhomes, cottage courts, and low-rise apartment buildings.

More Affordable: Often more attainable for middle-income households compared to detached homes or new condo towers.

Walkable Areas: Usually located in neighborhoods near transit, schools, and services.

Common Types of Missing Middle Housing:

Duplexes / Triplexes / Fourplexes

Townhouses / Rowhouses

Courtyard apartments

Stacked flats

Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) / Coach houses

Why It Matters:

- Fills the affordability gap between single-family homes and condos.

- Supports diverse populations—young families, seniors, singles.

- Makes better use of land in urban areas with existing infrastructure.

- Helps reduce sprawl by increasing housing supply in established neighborhoods.

In cities like Ottawa, efforts to promote missing middle housing are part of broader strategies to tackle housing shortages, affordability, and sustainable urban growth.

Multi-Family Projects

Ottawa-West
8-Plex Project

The TGi Group, in an effort to contribute to building The Missing Middle, is bringing two modern 4-plexes (interconnected as one single structure) to the Maitland Road area, just north of the Queensway (417). We’re currently in the design and permitting phase, shaping a project that blends contemporary living and affordability, with prime location convenience.

Westboro
10-Plex Project

The TGi Group is proud to announce our latest Missing Middle initiative: a contemporary 10-unit multiplex nestled in the heart of Westboro. Currently in development, this project continues our commitment to thoughtful urban infill—combining modern design sensibilities with practical density.

Home Conversions
