In Coquitlam 2026, 'new construction' splits into three tracks: high-rise concrete presale (Polygon, Concert, Onni — 38 to 60 storeys), wood-frame townhome subdivisions (Mosaic, Marcon, Wesgroup on Burke Mountain and Partington Creek), and custom-build single-family on spec lots (Cottonwood, Harbour Chines infill). Each track has a different risk profile, deposit structure, and timeline.
Every figure on this page draws from the primary sources listed below. When a builder changes pricing, timeline, or floor plans, their disclosure statement (filed with BCFSA) is always the authoritative reference.
| Project / Builder | Location | Price range | Completion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windsor Gate Phase 6 / Polygon | Lincoln Station | $640K–$1.25M | Q4 2026 |
| Precidia / Onni | Coquitlam Central | $580K–$1.1M | Q2 2027 |
| Concord Glen / Concord Pacific | Lafarge Lake | $650K–$1.3M | Q1 2027 |
| Moody Yards / Marcon | Moody Centre | $720K–$1.35M | Q3 2027 |
| Burke Mountain — Partington Creek / Mosaic | Burke Mountain | $1.15M–$1.65M | Rolling 2026–2028 |
| Innova / Concert | Inlet Centre (Port Moody) | $700K–$1.4M | Q4 2027 |
New construction in Coquitlam is the best value in the Tri-Cities right now — if you pick the right builder. The ones with a 20-year history of on-time completion, clean envelope performance, and strata engagement are a different product than the first-time builder coming up from the States. Due diligence on the builder matters more than due diligence on the floor plan.

Every presale purchase benefits from someone who's done it dozens of times and isn't paid by the builder. A 20-minute strategy call maps out the right project, the right deposit structure, and the right exit strategy for your situation.
'Presale' means buying from the builder before construction is complete (often 1–3 years out). 'New construction' broadly includes presale plus completed-but-never-occupied units. Both trigger 5% GST; only presale is governed by REDMA disclosure.
Typically 15–20% of the purchase price, paid over 3–4 instalments during construction. On a $800,000 presale, that's $40K on signing, $40K at 6 months, $40K at 12 months, and $40K at completion (approximately).
The Real Estate Development Marketing Act — BC's legislation governing presale marketing. REDMA requires builders to file a Disclosure Statement with BC Financial Services Authority and gives buyers a 7-day rescission right after receiving the DS.
Yes — every licensed residential builder in BC must provide the '2-5-10' New Home Warranty: 2 years on labour and materials, 5 years on building envelope, 10 years on major structural defects.
Only if the builder allows it. Most Coquitlam builders either prohibit assignments entirely or charge an assignment fee set in the purchase contract. Assignments after first occupancy also trigger GST and, if non-primary-residence, capital gains.
I do not publicly name builders to avoid — that's a conversation for an in-person strategy call where we can review real data on specific projects. Key red flags: warranty disputes in public court records, repeated completion delays past the 12-month statutory window, and thin strata engagement post-completion.
Every Disclosure Statement names an outside completion date (typically 18–36 months from first pricing). If the builder exceeds it, the buyer has a statutory right under REDMA to rescind with full deposit return. This is a critical date to track.
Not legally — but you should use one. The builder's sales centre represents the builder, not you. A buyer's realtor adds independent DS review, negotiates upgrades and assignment terms, and costs nothing (the builder pays the co-op commission from their marketing budget).
5% GST applies on the purchase price. Homes priced at or below $350,000 qualify for the full New Housing Rebate of 36% (max $6,300). Rebate phases out between $350K and $450K. Above $450K, no rebate. First-time buyers should look at the separate First-Time Home Buyers' GST Rebate, in force since March 2026, which refunds 100% of the federal GST on a qualifying new home up to $1,000,000 and phases out to nil at $1,500,000.
The first 12 months after completion often see a 3–8% drop as the initial buyer pool saturates the market. Strong projects recover within 18 months. Weak projects (oversupplied, poor strata governance, envelope issues) can lag the broader market for 3–5 years.

“Craig sold my property in just 6 days, which is an incredible feat. After receiving one offer, he quickly reconnected with all the other realtors who had viewed the property, and before I knew it, we had multiple offers—all over asking price!”Heather Fox
“We received seven offers, and Craig held firm on our priorities: no subject to sale and achieving our price. We took the home off the market over Christmas, but behind the scenes Craig continued working. When we re-listed in January, it sold in just three days to buyers he had been nurturing — at the price we wanted.”Jim Turnbull
“Craig worked with my wife and me for over 3 years to find the perfect home. He was endlessly patient with us through the process. Eventually, we found our perfect home and he moved fast to execute on our behalf. He negotiated fairly and thoroughly with the sellers and was our advocate all throughout our first home purchase.”David Catterall
