East Gwillimbury borders the Holland Marsh, where the water table sits close to grade and a conventional ADU frost-depth foundation can meet groundwater before it meets 1.2 m. On River Drive Park and Holland Landing sites we specify engineered slab or helical pier foundations as the default rather than the exception.
Building an ADU in East Gwillimbury
We design, permit and build garden suites, laneway homes, basement secondary suites and garage conversions across East Gwillimbury, working from Fast-growing serviced nodes at Holland Landing, Sharon and Queensville, ringed by Holland Marsh agricultural land with high water tables. East Gwillimbury permits additional dwelling units; Holland Landing and Sharon are on municipal services while the agricultural balance requires septic review. Homeowners here budget $8,500-$14,500 including York Region charges before construction, and we quote that separately from the build so the number is never a surprise at permit stage. Our East Gwillimbury projects run through Holland Landing, Sharon, Queensville, Mount Albert, River Drive Park and the surrounding streets. With 34,637 residents and major employers including York Region, Southlake Regional Health Centre, Holland Marsh growers, tenant demand for a legal second unit is steady year-round, and the May-October building season shapes when we break ground.
