Transforming Commercial Spaces into Residential

With rising residential rents and ongoing housing shortages across Canada, converting underused commercial spaces into housing has become a smart investment solution. Transforming vacant offices into residential units helps reduce vacancy rates while meeting the growing demand for quality rental homes—especially as remote work becomes more common.

SL Designs manages your commercial-to-residential conversion in full compliance with city codes, while keeping your project aligned with your budget. We ensure clear communication at every stage, providing regular updates and transparency on all major project decisions and progress.
