SECONDARY

SUITES

Being a Calgary resident have you been looking for ways to earn extra income from a different revenue stream? If you own a home with a basement that you aren’t currently using or have no use for anymore you can turn it into a secondary suite.

Whether you need the space for your kids that are growing and need their own space, have parents that are getting older and need to downsize, or you just want to earn some extra cash for a rental suite. All of these scenarios call for a secondary suite and it is a great solution.

​

On March 12, 2018 City Council approved amendments to the Land Use Bylaw that allows secondary suites as discretionary use within R-1, R-C1, and R-C1L land use districts. Applicants can now apply for a development permit as the first step in building a secondary suite in these land use districts. The development permit fee for all new secondary suite applications is being waived until June 1, 2020. This means that the City of Calgary has made the application process for a development permit of a secondary suite very easy.

Third Gen Builders have the experience and know-how in basement renovations and secondary suite basement developments to make this a reality and help you earn that extra income.
