Lot subdivision in Burnaby allows you to divide a single property into two or more separately titled parcels — each of which can be sold or developed independently. In Greater Vancouver's land-constrained market, subdivision is one of the most effective ways to unlock land value.

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

Lot Subdivision 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 →
