Housing Cohorts brings together 50–75 BC households so a developer has enough committed buyers to redevelop older detached lots into townhouses and mid-density housing — giving you real purchasing power you wouldn't have alone.
No payment required. Completely non-binding.
A cohort this size gives a developer enough pre-qualified buyers to justify acquiring and redeveloping multiple lots — the minimum threshold for a viable project.
BC's new housing law lets developers build 4–6 units on older detached lots as-of-right — no lengthy rezoning, faster timelines, lower risk for everyone.
Housing Cohorts is a coordination platform. We don't charge families to join, take commissions, or act as a broker. You're never locked in at any stage.
We handle the coordination. You show up as a serious buyer with real purchasing power behind you.
Tell us your preferred housing type, location, household size, and approximate income. No payment or commitment — just enough for us to form the right cohort.
We group households with similar goals, locations, and timelines into cohorts of 50–75 families. That size is what makes a developer take the project seriously.
We help cohort members get mortgage pre-approval letters so the group arrives at developer conversations ready — not just interested.
We connect qualified cohorts with developers to explore redeveloping older detached lots into townhouses and mid-density housing in your target area.
I spent over a decade working on personal real estate and many years seeing shortages in family oriented housing. Watching families get squeezed out of ground-oriented housing while older single-family lots sit underdeveloped is what pushed me to build this.
BC's new housing laws create a real opening. The missing piece is demand coordination — giving developers the buyer certainty they need to act on it. That's what Housing Cohorts does.
Your expression of interest is verified by email and stored securely. We use it only to match you with appropriate cohorts. We don't sell or share your data with third parties.
No. Submitting an expression of interest is completely non-binding. You can withdraw at any time. There are no fees at any stage of the coordination process.
Developers need buyer certainty before committing to acquire and redevelop multiple lots. A cohort of 50–75 pre-qualified households represents enough demand to justify a viable townhouse or mid-density project. Smaller groups don't move the needle for a developer.
BC's Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing legislation (Bill 44, in force since June 2024) allows developers to build 4–6 units on older single-family lots without a full rezoning process. That reduces the time and risk on the developer's side, making them more willing to engage with a cohort before breaking ground.
We're building the first cohorts now. Founding members get priority placement and will hear from us first as groups form in their preferred areas.
