Metrotown Burnaby Condo Renovation Guide

Renovating Condos Near Metrotown

The Metrotown area (Burnaby‘s urban centre around the Metropolis at Metrotown mall) has one of Metro Vancouver’s highest concentrations of high-rise condos — many built in the 1990s–2010s and now at prime renovation age.

Metrotown Condo Renovation Market

Metrotown condos attract investors and owner-occupants seeking transit-connected urban living. Renovation ROI is strong — a renovated 2-bedroom at Metrotown sells for $150,000–$250,000 more than an unrenovated equivalent in the same building.

Typical Renovation Scope and Costs

• 1-bed cosmetic refresh: $18,000–$35,000
• 1-bed full renovation (kitchen + bath): $42,000–$72,000
• 2-bed full renovation: $65,000–$110,000

Burnaby Strata Considerations

Metrotown buildings tend to have active strata councils with well-defined alteration processes. Allow 4–8 weeks for strata approval. Most buildings restrict construction to 8am–5pm Monday–Friday.
