Cambie Corridor Renovation Guide: Townhomes, Condos & Detached Homes
Renovating Along the Cambie Corridor
The Cambie Corridor — stretching from Marine Drive to King Edward Avenue — has undergone dramatic transformation since the Canada Line opened. The area now features a mix of older detached homes (many with laneway redevelopment potential), newer strata townhomes and condos, and significant commercial activity.
Strata Townhomes Along Cambie
Cambie Corridor has a high concentration of newer strata townhomes (2010–2020 construction). Renovation in these properties follows strata rules — typical projects include kitchen refreshes ($25,000–$55,000), bathroom upgrades ($20,000–$40,000), and flooring replacement. Most strata require Alteration Agreements for flooring and plumbing work.
Older Detached Homes (South Cambie, Riley Park)
South of King Edward, significant detached home inventory remains. Many South Cambie and Riley Park homes (1940s–1970s) are renovation candidates. With transit access and proximity to Oakridge, renovation investment pays off strongly here.
Typical Cambie Area Renovation Costs
- Strata condo renovation (full 2-bed): $45,000–$90,000
- Detached home full renovation: $200,000–$400,000
- Secondary suite addition: $80,000–$120,000
