Rental Income
A well-built garage suite generates strong long-term rental returns in Edmonton's central neighbourhoods.
Multigenerational
Private, accessible quarters for aging parents or adult children — close, but on their own terms.
Property Value
An architecturally-led suite is one of the most effective ways to increase the long-term value of your lot.
Designed for
the right tenant.
We design every suite around a specific rental feel — the kind of unit that attracts long-term, high-quality tenants in Edmonton's inner-city neighbourhoods. Layout, light, finishes, and acoustic separation all matter.
Tenant Brief
We start by defining who the suite is for — young professionals, a downsizing couple, a long-stay corporate tenant. That decision shapes everything downstream.
Layout & Light
Open-plan kitchens, full-height windows, separated bedroom wings. Suites read larger than their footprint and photograph well for listings.
Acoustic & Fire Separation
45-minute fire-rated garage-to-suite assemblies with 2 layers of 5/8" Type X drywall and acoustic isolation — tenants don't hear cars, owners don't hear tenants.
Rental-Ready Finish
Durable LVP flooring, full appliance package, in-suite laundry, dedicated entry and parking. Move-in ready on handover day.
Why Garage Suites Are Edmonton's Best-Kept Investment Secret
Edmonton's RS zoning now allows up to 8 dwellings on interior lots. That means your existing property — with the right builder — can legally generate 2, 4, or even 6 income streams. Garage and garden suites are the most cost-effective entry point:
No Land Purchase Required
Build on your existing lot — no need to acquire additional property.
Immediate Rental Income
Suites are rentable the moment occupancy is granted.
Up to 8 Dwellings Allowed
RS-zoned lots permit garage and garden suites to count toward total dwellings.
Strong Rental Demand
Edmonton rental vacancy remains low — workforce housing demand is strong.
Screw Pile Foundations
Significantly lower cost than full excavation — faster, cleaner installs.
City Approved Designs
Reduce permitting risk and timeline with pre-approved City of Edmonton designs.
Increase Property Value
Developed suites add assessed value directly to your title.
Industrial Corridor Demand
Fort Saskatchewan / Edmonton industrial expansion is driving rental demand.
