Moore Park's 1910s–1930s custom-built homes along the Mount Pleasant ravine corridor have the character worth preserving and the footprints worth building up. Kopman Build has been delivering second storey additions on Toronto's most demanding properties since 1999 — respecting what exists while adding the space your family actually needs.
Moore Park is a premium renovation market with its own set of constraints. Ravine lot conditions — setbacks, tree protection, slope stability — add complexity to any addition project before the first structural drawing is drafted. Kopman Build's team navigates these requirements routinely, coordinating with arborists, geotechnical engineers, and the City's ravine protection staff as a standard part of project delivery.
The neighbourhood's heritage character is the other key consideration. Adding a second storey to a 1920s Arts and Crafts or Georgian Revival home in Moore Park requires architectural judgment, not just construction execution. We work with designers experienced in heritage-adjacent work so your addition reads as a considered addition to a fine home — not a bolt-on box.
Finally, Moore Park clients typically undertake large, fully integrated projects. A second storey addition here is rarely done in isolation — it is coordinated with a kitchen renovation, primary suite fit-out, and full interior refresh. Kopman Build is structured for that scale of scope: single-contract delivery, full-time site management, and an owner you can call directly.

Second storey additions in Moore Park typically run $350,000–$650,000+ depending on floor area, structural complexity, and finish level. The 1910s–1930s homes along the Mount Pleasant ravine corridor often require upgraded foundations and careful structural assessment before adding a full upper floor, which affects the project budget. Kopman Build provides a detailed pre-construction estimate before any commitment.
Yes. All second storey additions require a City of Toronto building permit. Many Moore Park properties also sit within or adjacent to the Ravine and Natural Feature Protection overlay, which may trigger additional environmental review. Properties near the Mount Pleasant corridor may also be subject to heritage-adjacent design guidelines. Kopman Build manages all permit applications, engineering, and regulatory approvals from start to finish.
Construction of a second storey addition in Moore Park typically takes 8–14 months once permits are in hand. Permitting and approvals — including any ravine protection or heritage review — can add 4–8 months before construction starts. We provide a realistic total timeline from the first consultation so you can plan accordingly.
Yes — and it is one of our core areas of expertise. Moore Park's 1910s–1930s custom-built homes have strong architectural identities, and a well-designed second storey addition should feel like it was always part of the original home. Kopman Build works with architects experienced in heritage-adjacent design to ensure the addition respects existing rooflines, materials, and massing while delivering the modern living space you need.
