BC's new Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing legislation has unlocked multiplex development on thousands of Burnaby residential lots. Properties that once allowed only a single-family home can now accommodate four, six, or even eight units — without rezoning. Speera Custom Homes helps you take full advantage.

Speera Custom Homes builds custom homes, duplexes, and multiplexes across Burnaby, and provides full renovation services for existing homes. We're familiar with Burnaby's R1, R2, and R3 zones, the city's SSMUH implementation, and its specific multiplex and duplex design requirements — including unit count, parking, and lot coverage rules that vary from neighbouring municipalities.

Local Knowledge

Multiplex Construction in Burnaby: What to Know

Under BC's Bill 44 (SSMUH), most Burnaby single-family lots now allow 4–6 units as of right. The City of Burnaby has updated its zoning bylaw to align with the provincial minimums and continues to permit secondary suites and coach houses on most residential lots, alongside its own multiplex and duplex design guidelines.

Burnaby's diverse neighbourhoods — from Capitol Hill to Metrotown — offer strong opportunities for custom home construction, multiplex and duplex infill development, and whole-home renovation. Burnaby's central location, SkyTrain access, and strong rental demand make multi-unit construction especially attractive on qualifying lots.

We work throughout Burnaby, including: Capitol Hill, Brentwood, Metrotown, Deer Lake, Burnaby Heights, Edmonds, Highgate, Sullivan Heights. View all Burnaby services →

The right configuration depends on your lot, construction specification, and target market; we walk through the financial logic during your free consultation.

Yes. We coordinate with strata lawyers and BC Land Surveyors to create separate titles for each unit in your Burnaby multiplex, allowing you to sell units independently — typically the highest-value exit strategy compared to holding the building as a single-titled rental.
