Before you configure, check your lot against the Powerhouse 1 envelope. Our in-house feasibility tool runs setback, coverage, and density checks for any Burnaby address in seconds.
Enter an address. The tool pulls the parcel, applies the current City of Burnaby zoning rules (R1, R-SSMUH, laneway overlays), and shows you whether a Powerhouse 1 fits — plus the required setbacks, coverage, and density metrics.
Opens in a new tab. Currently covers Burnaby; Vancouver, Surrey, and Coquitlam in the next release.
A Powerhouse 1 is engineered to pencil — a turnkey second home or income property, fully built, for a predictable all-in cost. We finance the rest.
≈ $50,000 – $125,000
We work with mortgage partners to cover the remaining 75–90% — so a single household can unlock an entire second building, not just a condo unit.
Subject to market conditions and appraiser professional opinion.
Built-in equity on day one — the gap between turnkey cost and appraised value is the owner's, not the developer's.
A single contract, a single price, every line above covered. No change-order roulette, no “builder special” at the end.
Indicative all-in pricing based on typical Lower Mainland projects. Actual costs vary with site conditions, municipal fees, finance terms, and market timing. Appraised value is not a guarantee — final valuation is determined independently by a qualified appraiser at completion, and is subject to prevailing market conditions.

Factory-installed and warrantied. Each rolls into the turnkey purchase price.

All figures are estimates for planning purposes only and are not financial advice. Mortgage calculations assume fixed-rate amortization; your actual rate, term, and approval are set by your lender. Lease pricing is indicative based on PACK Flex Lease, rent-to-own eligible. Market rent data is sample; live queries require a connected Rentometer API key. Appraised value and financing approval are not guaranteed and are subject to market conditions and professional opinion.
A Powerhouse 1 is a real-estate leg of your portfolio — alongside the reserves, savings, and fixed-income products that your bank and advisor help you build. Here's how adding it compares, in plain English.
The detailed cash-returns walk-through is shared with qualified buyers in person. Your PACK advisor will give you the access code at the showroom.
That code doesn't match. Ask your PACK advisor.
These four values drive every number below. They auto-pull from the Build it your way configurator above — or type your own to use the Returns section as a standalone calculator.
We assume the front house appreciates at the same rate and its mortgage stays roughly the same over the hold period.
The foundation of any portfolio. Conservative savings, GICs, and bonds deliver stability, liquidity, and capital preservation. Your banker can help you tune the mix.
Powerhouse 1 isn't built in this path.
Add a hard-asset leg to your wealth. Build equity over the hold period — then realize it, with any net rental income collected along the way.
PH1 equity at sale + net rental, less the fixed-income forgone on that cash.
Tap the equity without selling. Refinance at 75% of appraised value, keep the rental, and redeploy the cash — into reserves, another property, or whatever comes next.
PH1 equity retained + its share of cash-out + net rental, less fixed-income forgone.
All three paths, line by line. Negative numbers are shown in parentheses and represent debt repaid or costs incurred.
A Powerhouse 1 can add real-estate exposure to your portfolio — working alongside your reserves, not replacing them.
Real estate and fixed-income are complements — not competitors. A Powerhouse 1 is one leg of a diversified portfolio, alongside the cash, GICs, bonds, and investment products your bank and advisor help you manage. Numbers above are estimates based on your configuration and the sliders; real returns depend on your mortgage terms, local market, rental vacancy, taxes, fees, and timing of sale or refinance. This is not financial advice — talk to your banker, mortgage advisor, accountant, or realtor before making decisions. Past appreciation is not a guarantee of future appreciation.
