Multiplex & Gentle Density Expertise for a Changing Vancouver
Karimi Developments specializes in 3–6 unit multiplex housing that aligns with provincial legislation, city policies, and the evolving needs of Metro Vancouver’s families.
We Build the Next Generation of Housing
Multiplex housing represents the future of residential development in Metro Vancouver. With new provincial mandates enabling up to 4–6 units on standard lots, the region is entering a period of historic transformation. Karimi Developments is at the forefront of this shift, delivering thoughtful, well-designed multiplex projects that strengthen neighbourhoods and create lasting value.
A Practical Solution to Vancouver’s Housing Challenges
Vancouver needs more family-friendly, ground-oriented homes — not just towers or traditional single-family houses. Multiplex development provides a balanced path forward: more density, more affordability, more livability, and more long-term sustainability.
- Creates attainable multi-unit ownership opportunities
- Supports multi-generational living and flexible layouts
- Fits seamlessly into existing neighbourhood form
- Increases supply without requiring rezoning battles
- Uses land and infrastructure far more efficiently
BC’s New Housing Legislation Has Unlocked a New Era
The Province of British Columbia has mandated multiplex zoning across all municipalities, enabling small-scale multi-unit housing by right. This policy removes friction, accelerates approvals, and creates new opportunities for homeowners, investors, and developers.
- →4 units allowed on most standard lots
- →6 units allowed in transit-oriented areas
- →Simplified approvals and accelerated permitting
- →Elimination of exclusionary single-family zoning
- →Alignment with long-term demographic and economic needs
Precision-Driven, Technically Rigorous, Human-Centered
Multiplex development requires an operator's discipline. We approach each site with detailed financial modeling, architectural clarity, and hands-on execution. Every decision — from setbacks to structural systems to unit mix — is made with long-term livability and financial resilience in mind.
Our Process Includes:
Design Philosophy
Good multiplex design respects the neighbourhood while elevating it. Our architectural principles focus on proportion, natural light, material authenticity, and functional layouts that support real family living.
- • Clear circulation and efficient floorplans
- • Natural light penetration in all units
- • Durable, low-maintenance exterior materials
- • Simple, cohesive massing forms
- • Private outdoor space for each household
Economic Fundamentals
Multiplexes offer compelling financial fundamentals — especially when land is owned or acquired at a disciplined basis. They provide multiple revenue streams, strong resale potential, and stable long-term demand.
- • Lower land cost per door
- • High demand from end-user families
- • Improved cap rates relative to single-family rentals
- • Attractive long-term appreciation potential
- • Favourable lending treatment
Thoughtful, Human-Scale Housing for the Next 50 Years
As the region evolves, gentle density will become the foundation of its livability. Karimi Developments is committed to shaping this future through disciplined, intentional multiplex projects that enhance neighbourhoods and create multi-generational value.
