In a landmark decision, Vancouver City Council has cast a unanimous vote to transform single-family neighborhoods by allowing the development of multiplexes. This groundbreaking change is set to revolutionize the cityscape and provide much-needed affordable housing options for families, young professionals, and seniors across Vancouver.
A Unanimous Step Towards Inclusivity
The new bylaw changes permit the construction of up to six strata units—or eight secured rental units on larger lots—that were previously restricted to single-family homes or duplexes. By embracing these changes, Vancouver is taking a significant step towards resolving the Vancouver housing crisis, and nurturing diverse, community-driven neighborhoods.
This policy shift aligns with the growing demand for missing middle housing, a concept that focuses on providing intermediate housing options that are more affordable than single-family homes yet offer a better living experience than high-rise condos.
