Why Solisterra
Design
A fixed lineup you can see before you order, from a 282 sq ft studio to plans that will grow toward 3,500 sq ft.
Comfort
A factory-sealed, continuously insulated building envelope with high R-values. Quieter rooms, less energy.
Price certainty
The home is priced before it is built. We do not promise a fixed percent saving. We do promise a known scope.
Less disruption
Neighbours see a crane and a short install, not a season of framing.
Walls and roof, built in the factory. Up in a week.
Every exterior wall and every roof section is built in our factory as a large, insulated panel, cut to the millimetre and quality-checked indoors. On install day a crane lifts each panel onto your slab. The walls lock together, the roof panels go on top, and the home is closed in and weather-tight almost immediately. That is how we go from delivery to a finished home in a 7-day install.
A foundation built for speed.
Every Solisterra home sits on an insulated, frost-protected concrete slab, not a full basement. That means less digging, less concrete, fewer trades, and a much shorter site schedule. The slab is poured while your home is being built in our factory, so when it arrives 6 weeks after you order, the base is ready and we install it in 7 days. A slab also gives you a step-free, single-level floor (useful for aging parents) and a warm floor, because the slab is insulated underneath and at its edges.

Rental income
A 1-bed garden suite in Toronto can rent for roughly $2,100–$2,900 a month.
Cottage and rural
The house is built indoors, which matters where trades and weather are scarce. Private services can limit the unit count.
Builders
Repeatable models and a schedule you can finance. See the page for small developers.
A first look at the numbers
A 1-bed garden suite in Toronto can rent for roughly $2,100–$2,900 a month. That is an industry estimate, not a promise and not a CMHC figure. 3

Questions we hear first
Is this a mobile home?
No. It is a permanent home on a foundation, built to code. It is not a trailer and it is not a kit you finish yourself.
How long is the crew on my lot?
The on-site install is 7 days. Delivery is 6 weeks from order. Permits and the slab happen in parallel with the factory build, before the home arrives.
Do you handle permits?
Yes. Drawings and submission are part of the turnkey scope. The municipality still has to approve them, so permit time sits outside the 6-week factory clock.
Can I finance it?
Many owners look at the CMHC refinance for a secondary suite, a HELOC, or construction financing. The federal $80,000 secondary suite loan was cancelled and never launched.
