It's for myself to live in.
Currently we are occupying one of the units on the main floor. Once laneway house is complete, we'll move into it and the unit will be up for rent
650sq 2 bed, with the wife and two kids, it's a pretty tight squeeze.

$400 per sq ft.
It's on the high side in terms of costs, but it was just bad timing, and stubborn parents not listening and allowing me to kick start the process early. The building permit alone took about 8 months.
My dream build was to be either from LaneFab or SmallWorks. I spoke to both the builders, to build a some what reasonable boutique lane home, asking price was starting from $525k to $550k before taxes and way out of my reach.
