Multiplex Development Services in Vancouver

R1-1 development expertise from feasibility through completed units. Data-driven decisions, vetted partners, and transparent project management.

R1-1 development expertise

Vancouver's R1-1 zoning enables 4-6 unit multiplexes on lots that previously held single-family homes. Developing these properties requires navigating FSR calculations, Development Permit design review, Step Code energy requirements, and construction management -- all while maintaining project economics that justify the investment.

VanPlex brings development expertise specifically calibrated for R1-1 projects. We model project economics before you commit, coordinate vetted architects and builders, manage the permit process, and track construction progress against budget and schedule benchmarks.

Vancouver market insights

Neighbourhood-Level Data

We analyze sales prices, rental rates, and permit activity at the neighbourhood level. This data informs unit mix decisions -- whether to build larger family-oriented units or smaller investor-friendly configurations.

Competitive Project Analysis

Before committing to development, understand what similar projects in your area have achieved. We track completed multiplex projects, their sale prices, construction timelines, and owner outcomes.

Financial Modelling

Our proforma models account for Vancouver-specific costs: DCLs, CACs, permit fees, construction costs, financing, and projected revenues. You see the full picture before breaking ground.

Hold vs. Sell Strategy

Not every project should sell all units. We model both scenarios -- full sale, partial hold, or full rental -- to identify the strategy that best matches your financial goals and tax situation.

Development project portfolio

VanPlex-supported developments span Vancouver neighbourhoods from the Westside to East Vancouver. Our portfolio includes 4-unit compact builds on standard 33-foot lots, 6-unit projects on wider parcels, and stratified developments with mixed ownership models. Each project is tailored to the specific lot and market context.
