Custom Home Builder
in Rosedale
Rosedale is Toronto's most storied neighbourhood — a place where architectural heritage meets modern luxury. Wexler has the experience, the craft, and the local knowledge to build and renovate here with the precision it demands.
Rosedale's heritage deserves a builder who respects it
Rosedale is home to some of Toronto's most architecturally significant residences — Victorian, Edwardian, Tudor, and mid-century estates that require as much sensitivity as skill to renovate. Heritage designations, conservation district rules, and strict neighbourhood committees mean that only experienced builders thrive here.
Wexler has completed numerous projects in Rosedale, navigating the city's heritage framework while delivering modern, high-performance homes that honour the character of the original architecture. Robby and Mark are the builders Rosedale homeowners trust when the stakes are highest.

What Every Builder Needs to Know About Rosedale
Lot Sizes & Typology
Rosedale lots vary from 40×120 ft terraced parcels in South Rosedale to estate lots of 100×200 ft in North Rosedale. The ravine geography means many lots have rear slopes or creek-adjacent buffers that add engineering complexity. Each project requires a detailed site analysis before design begins.
Heritage Conservation
Rosedale is within a Heritage Conservation District — one of Toronto's most regulated. Any exterior changes to contributing properties require Heritage Permit applications and Committee of Adjustment review. Wexler has navigated this process dozens of times. We know what gets approved.
Ravine Setback Requirements
Properties backing onto Rosedale's ravine system are subject to TRCA (Toronto and Region Conservation Authority) setback regulations — often 10m or more from the top of bank. These limits are non-negotiable and must be factored into building envelope calculations from day one.
Architectural Styles
Rosedale's streetscapes mix Victorian, Edwardian, Gothic Revival, and 1920s–1940s Colonial homes. Renovations must respect original massing, materials, and detailing. Wexler specializes in sympathetic renovations that modernize performance without erasing character.
Typical Project Budgets
Custom homes in Rosedale start at $2.5M–$4M for mid-sized builds and reach $15M+ on premium lots. Heritage renovation of a 3,500–5,000 sq ft Edwardian typically runs $700K–$2M+. We provide honest, detailed estimates that don't change mid-project.
Real Projects Completed
Wexler has completed heritage restorations, contemporary rear additions, and full gut renovations across both North and South Rosedale. Recent projects include a sensitive restoration of a 1912 Georgian Colonial with a full systems upgrade and contemporary primary suite addition.
