Major development and planning application sources for Canadian real estate

Why combine development and planning sources?

Major projects are often split across tracker records, planning applications, permits, public notices, and municipal agendas. Agents need the combined path to avoid missing source evidence.

Are project values and timelines final?

No. Values, scopes, approvals, and timelines change. Treat them as research context until confirmed by current source links.

Can agents query nearby projects?

Yes, through existing capped development search endpoints. This Round 2 topic layer does not add any new record-query API.
