After Second World War the scale of the housing demand required larger companies to get the resources together to build large scale developments. Many large development corporations were formed - Tridel, Cadillac Fairview. One of first was E.P. Taylor, developer of Don Mills. Land assembly - combine many separate properties into a single area owned by the developer 2. Plan of subdivision and development - the new large property is subdivided into lots, roads, parks etc.
Plan shows roads and proposed property lines.
So most subdivisions have a mix of house sizes 3. Construction - takes about nine months from breaking ground. Usually ground is levelled because it is easier and cheaper to construct many houses on flat land. May be a number of different construction companies in one development. D. Comments 1.
