LAND & DEVELOPMENT

Recent changes to BC's housing legislation have created new redevelopment opportunities for many residential properties throughout Metro Vancouver.

Depending on your property's size, zoning, location, and proximity to transit, your land may now accommodate multiple homes where only one was previously permitted.

Whether you're thinking about selling, building, renovating, or simply planning for the future, understanding your property's development potential is an important first step.

Why This Matters

Neighbourhoods across Metro Vancouver are evolving.

Older single-family homes are increasingly being replaced with duplexes, multiplexes, laneway homes, and other forms of housing that better meet today's housing needs.

For many homeowners, this means their property's value may extend well beyond the existing house itself.

Today, land characteristics such as lot size, zoning, transit access, and redevelopment potential can play a significant role in determining market value.

Could Your Property Have Additional Development Potential?

Factors that may influence redevelopment potential include:

• Lot size and dimensions
• Current zoning
• Municipal regulations
• Sewer and water servicing
• Proximity to transit
• Corner location
• Lane access
• Topography
• Easements and rights-of-way
• Tree retention requirements
• Heritage considerations

Every Property is Unique!

Depending on these factors, your property may be suitable for:

✓ Duplex
✓ Triplex
✓ Fourplex
✓ Sixplex (in certain transit-oriented areas)
✓ Laneway Home
✓ Secondary Suite
✓ Future redevelopment opportunities

A detailed property review is required before determining what may ultimately be permitted.
