March 10, 2025 - CMHC Housing Design Catalogue

In 2024 the Federal Government announced that they budgeted $11.6 million to support the development of a Housing Design Catalogue for up to 50 designs to simplify and accelerate housing approvals and builds.
 
On March 7, 2025 the initial catalogue was released by the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). This includes the final renderings, floor plan layouts, and key building details as part of the Housing Design Catalogue. The catalogue features some 50 standardized housing designs for rowhouses, fourplexes, sixplexes, and accessory dwelling units. The catalogue provides a head start for homeowners, builders, and communities in their planning processes. The designs were developed by regional architecture and engineering teams and focus on creating gentle density and infill development in existing neighbourhoods in all regions of the country including MB. The final architectural design packages will be released this spring.The link for the SK/MB catalogue can be found here: Link
