Learn about the Secondary Suite Loan Program!

A garage conversion ADU, often called a laneway dwelling, is one of the most cost-effective ways to add a secondary living space to your property. By transforming an existing garage into a fully functional additional dwelling unit (ADU), homeowners in Chatham, Sarnia, Windsor, London, Leamington, and Belle River can maximize their property’s potential without the high costs of new construction.

Benefits of Garage Conversions & Laneway Dwellings

• Rental Income Potential – A laneway dwelling can generate passive income by serving as a rental unit, making homeownership more affordable.

• Multigenerational Living – A garage conversion ADU is ideal for aging parents, adult children, or extended family, providing privacy while keeping loved ones close.

• Property Value Increase – Adding an additional dwelling unit can boost your home’s resale value and appeal to future buyers looking for income-generating properties.

• Flexible Uses – Besides long-term rentals, a garage ADU can serve as a guest house, home office, or short-term rental.
