Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers for Port Moody homeowners considering a multiplex or multi-gen living under SSMUH.
No. Think gentle, family-scale infill, not towers. Most eligible lots would see three to six total homes at most, designed to match existing streetscapes. Single-level and small-scale forms are common, and projects phase in gradually — not all at once.
Not in a meaningful way. This is about adding homes for extended family and locals, not big rental blocks. Most trips are already happening in the neighborhood, and we’re close to SkyTrain and bus routes. Net change is modest and spread over time.
No. Most owners stay right on their lot. A popular path is building a comfortable, low-maintenance home for yourself and adding one or two additional homes for kids or grandkids. You keep control the whole way.
Yes — it’s one of the most common reasons people are doing this. Multi-gen housing keeps family close without leaving the area or taking on the cost of a second detached house.
Yes. We manage the process end-to-end with trusted local partners: feasibility, design, permits, construction, and handover. You decide how involved you want to be.
It depends on your lot, slope, servicing, and number of homes. Your free feasibility study outlines order-of-magnitude ranges, cost drivers, and ways to phase or finance. If selling is your goal, we can model that too.
Totally fine. This is long-horizon planning for many families. We’ll keep you informed on local rules and timing so you can move when it’s right for you.
Absolutely. Call, or let’s walk the dogs at Art Wilkinson and talk it through. I live here too.
We partner with a local builder and are paid for feasibility, coordination, and guiding the process. For some projects we set up profit-share or fee-for-service depending on your goals. The feasibility study outlines the options so you know the path before you commit.
