Laneway Houses - Burnaby, BC

March 2023


The City of Burnaby is currently considering changes to their zoning bylaws that would allow laneway houses across most of the city. These would potentially be up to 1500sf, but wouldn’t be allowed to be sold separately.

We are estimating the policy will be in place in the fall / winter of 2023, so we are starting to work with clients who want to be among the first batch of projects submitted and built in Burnaby.

The final design rules are not yet firm, but some conceptual images from the city’s policy report are shown below.
If you’d like to get started, we can work with you to get a site survey done and develop preliminary designs. These can then be refined as the final design rules become more clear.
