The problem
The owners bought a large Coquitlam lot in 2019 and carried the full mortgage alone. Under older zoning, adding more than one extra unit was difficult.
What we did
We ran a zoning review with the city, converted the basement into a legal suite, and built a detached garden home at the rear, each with its own meter and entrance.
The result
Three homes on one lot. The two rental units bring in about $5,000/mo combined, and the owners kept options for later changes under current local rules.
We work in Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, Richmond, Coquitlam, and Surrey.
