Who We Are

RNDSQR ("round-square") has been an expert in middle housing in Canada, delivering nearly 200 gentle-density homes and over 300 apartment units in established neighbourhoods over the past eight years, several of which are local, national and international award-winning developments. Through this work, we’ve celebrated successes, we’ve made mistakes and learned from them, and most importantly, we’ve realized that in order to make a big difference, we can’t do it alone.

It is for this reason, we’ve created RNDSQR Middle (mddl) with a renewed focus to advocate for and champion the efforts of at-scale delivery of middle housing. Our mission is to accelerate the development of middle housing within mature neighbourhoods across Canada.

Accelerating the development of affordable middle housing across Canada.

We provide developers, builders, investors and even homeowners with everything that they need to successfully embrace middle housing development.

We share the tools, designs, checklists and step-by-step processes that have enabled our teams to profitably deliver hundreds of middle housing projects. 

We believe that middle housing, deployed in inner cities across the country, is a critical piece of solving Canada’s growing housing crisis. And we believe that mature neighbourhood redevelopment is most successful when it is driven by the people who live there.
