Maximize the SSI Grant in Brighton — Your Opportunity to Build a Legal Suite Before the Program Ends

Community SpotlightDevelopmentsExpert SeriesLifestyleProject SpotlightUncategorized

Brighton continues to be one of Saskatoon’s most desirable neighbourhoods—vibrant, modern, and filled with amenities that make everyday living easier. And right now, homebuyers looking to live or invest in Brighton have a unique advantage: the ability to benefit from Saskatchewan’s Secondary Suite Incentive (SSI) Grant before it ends on March 31, 2026.

At North Ridge Development, many of our Brighton homes are designed to support legal suite development—making it easier for buyers to qualify for the grant while gaining long-term financial flexibility.

 

What Is the SSI Grant?

The Secondary Suite Incentive (SSI) Grant is a provincial program offering financial support to homeowners who build a new, legal secondary suite. It helps offset the cost of construction and encourages housing solutions that benefit families, investors, and the broader community.

Key advantages include:

  • Coverage of up to 35% of eligible construction costs
  • Support for creating legal, code-compliant suites
  • Long-term rental income potential to help offset mortgage payments
  • For many Brighton buyers, this can significantly improve affordability while adding long-term value to their investment.

 

Important Deadline: March 31, 2026

To qualify for the SSI Grant, all eligible suite construction costs must be incurred before March 31, 2026.

This means buyers need to:

  • Select a home early enough to allow suite construction to begin before the deadline
  • Choose models that already include features supporting future suite development
  • Consider homes already under construction, which offer the best chance to meet the eligibility timeline
  • With the deadline approaching, now is the ideal time to secure a Brighton home that aligns with the grant requirements.

✔ Additional Income – Earn rental income to help reduce your monthly mortgage.

✔ Flexible Living – Use the suite for extended family, aging parents, or guests.

✔ Higher Long-Term Value – Homes with legal suites often appeal to a wider market and offer stronger resale potential.

✔ Strong Demand in a Popular Community – Brighton’s amenities, parks, shopping, and overall appeal make rental units highly desirable.
