Build a $2M+ Asset on Land You Already Own

Your single-family lot is an underperforming asset. A fourplex generates $12,000+/month in rental income — or sell 4 strata units for $4.8-7.2M combined. Construction financing makes the math work.

  • Construction mortgage through major lenders
  • Joint venture structures available
  • Strata presale financing to reduce capital needed
  • HELOC against existing home equity
  • Rental income covers financing from completion

Frequently Asked Questions

Total build costs (excluding land, which you already own) range from $1.5M for a triplex to $4M+ for a premium sixplex. Fourplex on a standard 33x120 ft lot: $2-3M all-in including design, permits, demolition, construction, and strata registration. Key cost drivers: unit count, finishes, site conditions, and municipality-specific requirements (parking, in particular). BRIO provides an itemized, fixed-price quote after your free lot evaluation.
Bill 44 (SSMUH) ended single-family-only zoning across BC. On a standard lot (280+ m2): 4 units. Near transit: up to 6 units. However, each municipality has different rules. Vancouver (R1-1 zoning) is the most permissive — 6 market strata or 8 rental units, no parking minimums. Burnaby limits to 3 storeys with 1.5 parking per unit. North Vancouver has the fastest permits (3-5 months). BRIO's free lot evaluation checks your specific zoning and tells you exactly what's permitted.
Total timeline is 18-30 months from initial design to occupancy. Permitting: 4-8 months depending on municipality (North Vancouver is fastest). Construction: 14-20 months for a fourplex, 18-24 for a sixplex. BRIO includes a guaranteed completion date in your contract. If we miss it, your final payment is on us.
Two paths: (1) Rent all units — a fourplex at $3,200/unit generates $153K/year gross income. (2) Sell as strata — 4 units at $1.2-1.8M each = $4.8-7.2M total on a $2-3M build cost (plus you already own the land). Many homeowners keep one unit for themselves and sell or rent the rest. Either way, property value increases $1-2M+ within 18-24 months of completion.
Yes — BRIO has permitting expertise across all 8 Greater Vancouver municipalities: Vancouver, North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, Coquitlam, New Westminster, and Port Moody. Each has different SSMUH rules, and we know them all. Our multi-city expertise is one of our biggest advantages — fewer revisions, faster approvals, no surprises.
Primary options: (1) Construction mortgage through a major lender — typically 65-80% of project cost. (2) HELOC against your existing home equity. (3) Joint venture with an investment partner. (4) Strata presale financing — presell units to fund construction. BRIO works with several lenders experienced in multiplex financing and can connect you with the right fit during your consultation.
For most multiplex projects, yes — the existing home is demolished to make way for the new building. Typical construction takes 14-24 months. Some homeowners rent nearby, stay with family, or use proceeds from a HELOC to cover temporary housing. If staying on-site is important, consider a laneway house instead — you stay in your main home while the laneway is built behind it.
