Your North Shore Vancouver Property May Now Allow 4–6 Homes
With new provincial legislation and upcoming DNV zoning changes, single-family lots are being unlocked for multiplex housing.
We help you turn that opportunity into a clear, buildable plan.
A Fundamental Change Is Underway
With the introduction of new provincial housing legislation, including Bill 25, municipalities like District of North Vancouver are required to update zoning to allow small-scale multi-unit housing.
This means:
Most single-family lots will allow 3–4 units
Larger lots or those near transit may allow up to 6 units
Local zoning must comply — whether updated yet or not
This is not a future possibility. It is happening now.
What This Means for You
Your property may now support:
A 4-plex or 6-plex

Rental income + long-term value creation
A strategic redevelopment aligned with new policy

Ensure the project makes financial senseMost Property Owners Are Asking:
What can my lot actually support under DNV rules?
Will a multiplex project be financially viable?
How do setbacks, height, and parking affect yield?
What configuration makes the most sense?
Zoning alone doesn’t answer these questions.
