Scarborough Southwest sits inside Toronto's citywide multiplex zoning, so a fourplex is allowed as of right on most detached lots here. Below is what's active on the market in the ward right now, pulled from the same feed TESA reads before it buys.

Can you build a sixplex in Scarborough Southwest?

Not yet. Scarborough Southwest allows a fourplex as of right, but as-of-right sixplex is currently limited to a smaller set of wards elsewhere in the city.

Is a fourplex as-of-right in Scarborough Southwest?

Yes. A fourplex is allowed as of right on most detached residential lots in Scarborough Southwest, the same as it is across Toronto.

This is an indicative read from TESA's live listings feed, not a zoning opinion. Ward boundaries, listing counts, and program eligibility change; confirm what a specific address allows with a TESA development read.
