BUILDING OPTIONS
Here’s a breakdown of possible options. Please note, all plans and development options are subject to city approval.
single family home
Based on the standard 33 by 122 foot lot, about 4,026 square feet often falls under the RS-1 zoning, so generally, for a single family home, you can build up to 70% of the lot’s area as the total floor space ratio. This usually means roughly a 2,800 square foot house. Keep in mind these specifics depend on the design guidelines, zoning and approval from the city.
Laneways are allowed in Vancouver’s Grandview-Woodland area under RS zoning. When you ad a laneway house, you could possibly get additional floor area. It could be possible to build up 3,400 squre foot total when combined with the main house. Once again, this all is subject to city approval and allowances.
Duplex development (on single lot or both)
Build a duplex on single lot, or four-plex on both lots. A townhouse development could also be an option for development.
Often these types of developments can receive variances from the city allowing for higher density. As an example, on a standard 33 by 122 lot, it could be possible to build duplexes with approximately 1,500 sqr/feet of floor space each.
This is all subject to city approval and allowances.
Multi-Unit Attached Development (2 Lots)
A developer looking for a medium sized project, development of a multi-unit development, taking advantage of land assembly of both lots.
A focus on a premium, higher-end development which would take advantage of the view and spectacular location.
Subject to city approval and allowances.
current house – Move-IN READY HOLDING PROPERTY WITH INCOME POTENTIAL – 2050 E 13th Ave
One of the key advantages of this Trout Lake offering is that the existing home is not a teardown or basic holding property — it is renovated, livable, and move-in ready.
For buyers planning a future custom build or redevelopment, this creates valuable flexibility. You can purchase the property now, move in comfortably, and enjoy the home and location for several years while you finalize your long-term plans, design process, permits, or future development strategy.
For builders, developers, or investors, the home also offers practical holding value. Rather than carrying vacant land, the property can generate rental income while future plans are being explored. With a flexible lower-level suite, there is potential to offset carrying costs by renting part or all of the home during the planning and approval process.
This combination of immediate livability, rental income potential, and long-term redevelopment flexibility makes the property especially compelling in a sought-after Trout Lake location.
