Unlock the power of Multiplex in Port Moody

New zoning changes in BC have created massive new opportunities for Port Moody homeowners.

A New Era for Homeowners in BC

The Province of BC now allows up to 4–6 homes on most residential lots, including yours. This is part of the new Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) legislation, designed to address the housing crisis while keeping families and communities intact.

Gentle density that belongs on your street

Port Moody’s multiplex zoning allows small-scale growth that looks, feels, and lives like a single-family home. It’s the missing middle — housing that connects generations, fits existing streets, and protects what makes these communities special.

Neighbourhood character stays

Homes remain house-scale, tree-lined, and familiar — not towers or townhome rows.

Multigenerational living

Suites or side-by-side homes so parents, kids, and grandparents can stay close.

No traffic surge

Four homes instead of one — not four hundred. Streets stay calm and familiar.

Environmentally smarter

Uses existing land and services, adds EV options, and lowers building footprints.

About Dawar Zada

Neighbour, first mover, and guide.

I live in Seaview with my wife, our three kids, and Bear the Samoyed. This isn’t a side market to me, it’s my street, my school catchment, and my long-term plan.

I founded Port Moody Multiplex after grinding through this new development space on my own. I leaned on specialized courses, real-world lessons, and strong partnerships to learn the nuts and bolts of what actually works.

That experience now helps me guide investors, homeowners, and anyone who wants to take advantage of this opportunity before the market gets crowded. If you are ready to move from curiosity to a clear plan, book your consultation and let us get your project moving in the right direction.
