Estimated included value, by feature

The table below estimates the replacement value of features that come standard at Addition, sourced from government, utility, regional construction-cost benchmarks (Altus Group) and neutral cost databases. Totals reconcile to an estimated $113,250 to $258,500+ per home.

Feature	Estimated value	Source basis
Rooftop terrace	$30,000 to $75,000+	Altus Group 2025 Canadian Cost Guide. Vancouver row townhouse construction is listed at $205–$310/sf and stacked townhouse at $225–$315/sf. A rooftop terrace value reflects structure, membrane, guardrails, access, drainage, finishes and usable outdoor area – a replacement-value estimate rather than a direct line item. Altus Group 2025 Canadian Cost Guide (PDF)
Gas BBQ hookup	$750 to $2,000	Limited official BC pricing for a BBQ gas outlet. FortisBC sets gas-service standards; Homewyse (neutral cost database) lists gas-line installation at $864–$1,060 per piping run before location-specific complexity. Homewyse – Cost to Install Gas Line
Heat pump with air conditioning	$8,000 to $19,000	Province of BC states the average heat-pump installation costs $8,000–$19,000 depending on equipment type and heating load – stronger than contractor pricing. BC Gov News – Heat Pump Costs
Two-car garage	$35,000 to $75,000+	Altus Group regional benchmark. Vancouver row townhouse hard costs are $205–$310/sf; freestanding above-grade parking garages are $130–$210/sf. For an integrated two-car garage this is best treated as an allocation/proxy, not a standalone detached-garage quote. Altus Group 2025 Canadian Cost Guide (PDF)
EV rough-in	$1,500 to $4,000	BC Hydro EV charger rebate identifies eligible costs including charger purchase, licensed electrician labour and construction, permits, electrical design, and EV power management devices. Rough-in value covers future-ready wiring/conduit/capacity, not the charger itself. BC Hydro – Home Charger Rebates
Double sinks in ensuite	$1,500 to $4,000	Public government/QS sources rarely price this exact fixture package. Homewyse lists basic bathroom vanity installation at $576–$871 per vanity, then layer in the extra sink, faucet, countertop width, plumbing, mirror/electrical allowance and finish level. Homewyse – Cost to Install Bathroom Vanity
Soaker tub	$1,500 to $3,500	Treated as a conservative component allowance within the ensuite covering tub, plumbing fixture, install and finish condition. Internal builder/spec cost backup
Step Code 4 construction	$35,000 to $75,000+	Township of Langley confirms new Part 9 residential is at Energy Step Code 4 and Zero Carbon Step Code EL-3 as of April 1, 2025. BC Housing identifies Step Code impacts across envelope, mechanical, electrical, airtightness, insulation, high-performance windows/doors, HRVs, heat pumps, controls, modelling and testing. Township of Langley – Green Buildings
Estimated total included value	$113,250 to $258,500+

Estimated values are based on replacement-cost logic, regional construction-cost benchmarks, utility and government program references, and neutral cost databases where exact official line-item pricing is not publicly available. Values are not appraised resale premiums and may vary by home size, specifications, construction method, and site conditions.

AC included

Central air conditioning is built in, not an upgrade. The same system heats in winter and cools in summer, with bedroom-by-bedroom comfort that window units can't match. The Province of BC estimates typical heat-pump installations at $8,000–$19,000.

Private rooftop patios

≈600–675 sq ft of private outdoor space above your home, with sightlines and quiet that ground-level patios don't offer. Gas BBQ hookup is included.

Gas BBQ hookup

A dedicated gas line on the rooftop means no propane tank refills and no interruptions mid-cook. Plumbed in, ready on day one.

EV rough-in

Garages are pre-wired so adding a Level 2 EV charger later is a quick install – not a panel upgrade. Future-proofing without future cost.

Appliances and finishes

Stainless Samsung appliance package – gas range, French-door fridge, dishwasher and microwave – plus matte black fixtures and curated designer colour schemes.

Garages and storage

Side-by-side two-car garages with room for storage. Bikes, gear, strollers and tools all have a place.

Step Code 4 energy performance

One of BC's highest residential efficiency tiers – verified through energy modelling and airtightness testing. Quieter, healthier, less energy used.

Why included features matter when comparing townhomes

When comparing two new townhomes at similar prices, the home with AC, EV rough-in, included appliances and a usable rooftop is often tens of thousands ahead before you've spent a dollar on upgrades.

Frequently Asked

Good to know.

What features are included at Addition?

Central air conditioning, electric heat pump, private rooftop patio (≈600–675 sq ft), gas BBQ hookup on the rooftop, EV rough-in in the garage, full Samsung stainless appliance package, designer finishes, side-by-side two-car garage, Step Code 4 energy envelope, and fenced yards – included as standard.

How much value is included in an Addition home?

An estimated $110,000 to $250,000+ in included home features and high-performance construction, based on replacement-cost logic, regional construction-cost benchmarks (Altus Group), utility and government program references (BC Hydro, FortisBC, Province of BC, Township of Langley, BC Housing) and neutral cost databases where official line-item pricing is not publicly available.

Does Addition include AC?

Yes. Every home includes central air conditioning paired with a heat pump. It's standard, not an upgrade, and is built into the Step Code 4 mechanical design. The Province of BC estimates typical heat-pump installations at $8,000–$19,000.

Are rooftop patios included?

Yes. Every floorplan – A, B1, B2 and D – includes a private rooftop patio with a gas BBQ hookup.

Is EV rough-in included?

Yes. Every garage is roughed in for an EV charger so adding a Level 2 charger later is a straightforward install rather than a panel and wiring upgrade.

How do included features add value?

Buyers can move in and use the home as designed without immediately spending on retrofits – no aftermarket AC, no panel upgrades for EV charging, no separate outdoor build-out. Inclusions also support resale appeal.

What should buyers compare in new townhomes?

Beyond price per square foot, compare what's actually included: cooling system, outdoor space, EV readiness, appliance package, energy performance and warranty. Two homes at similar prices can differ by tens of thousands once you reconcile the inclusion list.
