Planning the financing for a development project — Vancouver
Why Vancouver

Vancouver is built for this move.

Vancouver has the highest land values and rents in the country — so every additional legal home you can fit on a lot moves the numbers more here than almost anywhere.

Financing is where good Vancouver projects die quietly — not because the money doesn’t exist, but because nobody sequenced it. Equity, construction draws, once-built refinancing and government-backed programs each have a moment; we line them up.

The rules in Vancouver: BC now requires most lots to allow three to four homes — up to six near frequent transit — and the City of Vancouver’s multiplex rules go further, permitting up to six strata (or eight rental) units on a standard lot, with a secondary suite and a laneway house still available on detached homes.

Vancouver questions

Asked in Vancouver.

Almost never cash. The typical stack: equity starts the project, construction financing carries the build, and refinancing against the once-built value repays it — with the rent servicing the debt from there.

No — it was cancelled in Budget 2025 and never launched. We build Vancouver financing plans around programs that are actually active today.

Increasingly, yes — lenders count rental income from legal units. That’s one more reason the legal-and-permitted route pays: illegal suite income often doesn’t count at the bank.
