Abstract: There is a housing shortage in Canada. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, 2023) estimates that approximately 3.5 million additional housing units are required by 2030 to restore affordability to 2004 levels. Building conversions from non-residential to residential use is a potential strategy for increasing housing supply at lower cost than new builds. For example, the City of Calgary has 11 approved projects for office conversions to create more than 1,400 new residential units (City of Calgary, 2024). The City of Hamilton is also implementing a new grant pilot program that could be used to help convert buildings and cover some conversion costs (CBC, 2025).
