Strata buildings in Richmond

Richmond sits on the Fraser River delta, much of it at or close to sea level. Its stratas range from wood-frame townhouse complexes built in the 1980s and 1990s to newer concrete towers along the Canada Line. In a wet coastal climate, the building envelope, roofing and drainage are usually the largest items in a depreciation report.

What most often shapes a plan here:

  • The building envelope, and whether it has already been rehabilitated or rainscreened.
  • Roofs, gutters and site drainage on flat, low-lying ground.
  • Parkade membranes and below-grade waterproofing in the newer towers.

Of the 21 Richmond properties we have studied with a recorded size, 8 had 11 to 24 units, 6 had 10 units or fewer, 4 had 25 to 49 units, 2 had 100 units or more and 1 had 50 to 99 units.

What British Columbia requires

In British Columbia, a depreciation report is required every 5 years under the Strata Property Act. Depreciation reports are mandatory for strata corporations with 5 or more lots. The three-quarters vote to defer one ended on July 1, 2024. Stratas wholly or partly in Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley or the Capital Regional District needed a compliant report by July 1, 2026, and everywhere else the date is July 1, 2027.

Requirements are set by the province, not the municipality, so a Richmond corporation is governed by the same rules as the rest of British Columbia. The full requirements, including who is eligible to author the report, are on our British Columbia page.
