2Tone Development Corp. is a property rental and real estate investment company with over 15 years of experience. They specialize in helping families and single renters find their ideal homes in British Columbia and Arizona.

2Tone owned a lot zoned RA7 (low rise apartment) in Newton. The site had an existing apartment building on the north side and a large, empty yard on the south side. Situate was hired in 2020 as the planning consultant to conduct a zoning analysis and manage the subdivision of the site to allow for the development of a new building on the south side of the lot, which would maximize its development potential.

Situate managed the application to the City and conducted outreach to the Newton Community League. A major challenge with the application was that EPCOR Water’s process at the time was to require infrastructure upgrades at the subdivision stage. Situate advocated for Fire Rescue Services to conduct a risk assessment that resulted in upgrades being deferred to the development permit stage. 

The subdivision application was approved by the City on October 19, 2020. As a result, 2Tone will be able to develop new multi-unit housing on an underutilized piece of land.
