Common questions

Is Cates Landing in Dollarton or Roche Point?

Both, depending on the source. Search Roche Point as well as Dollarton or the complex will not appear.

How many homes are at Cates Landing, and how many are apartments?

Developer-era sources state 95 residences total: 80 apartment residences and 15 waterfront townhouses, in a 4-storey complex completed in 2017 by Polygon. The townhouses are a separate form inside the same strata — confirm the specific unit's form and strata lot on title.

Can I rent out a Cates Landing condo long-term, and can I have a pet?

A current listing describes the complex as freehold strata and "pet & rental friendly," and the building directory states pets allowed with restrictions. Independently of any bylaw text, strata rental-restriction bylaws have been unenforceable for long-term rentals anywhere in BC since November 24, 2022. Pet terms are a Form B / filed-bylaw question.

What is the shoreline risk beside the complex?

The port authority states the Cates Park shoreline is eroding and likely to worsen with sea level rise and climate change, threatening park infrastructure and cultural sites; a District / Tsleil-Waututh shoreline adaptation project is under port-authority review. For the unit itself: check the strata's insurance and deductible position and the District GeoWeb flood construction level (modelled to 2100 plus 0.6 m) before subject removal.

Is any part of the waterfront approval federal?

Yes. Burrard Inlet's waters and intertidal area are port-authority-managed federal lands and waters, so foreshore, dock or seawall work needs that check in addition to District permits — relevant to the townhouse component's private yards opening onto the waterfront.

How many homes are at Cates Landing, and how many are townhouses?

Developer-era sources state 95 residences total: 80 apartment residences and 15 waterfront townhouses, in a 4-storey complex completed in 2017 by Polygon. The townhouses are a separate form inside the same strata — confirm the specific unit's form and strata lot on title.

Can I buy half of a Dollarton duplex?

Only if the pair was legally split — a 2-lot strata plan or a subdivided fee-simple pair. An undivided duplex sells whole, on one title. Check the title first.

What extra checks does a waterfront duplex lot need here?

The 7.6 m Ocean Natural Boundary setback for a principal building, the District's modelled flood construction level, the eroding-shoreline record at Cates Park, and the federal foreshore layer for any dock or seawall work.

What is Dollarton?

The District of North Vancouver shore along Dollarton Highway on Burrard Inlet, between Maplewood Flats at the west end and Deep Cove to the east, taking in Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) at 4141 Dollarton Highway and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve shoreline.

Which schools serve a Dollarton address?

No public school inside Dollarton is confirmed. The schools beside the area are Cove Cliff Elementary (1818 Banbury Road) and Seycove Secondary (1204 Caledonia Avenue) in Deep Cove and Seymour Heights Elementary (2640 Carnation Street) to the north-west; catchments are address-based — check the exact address with SD44.

What buses run on Dollarton Highway?

Routes 211, 212 and 215 all run along Dollarton Highway to Phibbs Exchange, and some 211 trips continue over the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge to Burrard Station.

Streets, schools and getting around Dollarton

  • Dollarton is the District of North Vancouver area along Dollarton Highway on the north shore of Burrard Inlet, between Maplewood at the west end and Deep Cove to the east. The port authority's shoreline report places Maplewood Flats at the west end, the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve lands (Burrard Inlet IR #3) along the shore backed by Dollarton Highway, and Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) farther east.
  • Where the condo stock actually concentrates: in one place only — Cates Landing, the Polygon complex on Cates Landing Way beside Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) at the east end of the shore. The rest of Dollarton is detached houses on R1 and R2 lots along and above Dollarton Highway; a neighbourhood source describes Dollarton as almost entirely detached, with condo and townhome inventory minimal and rare when it appears. The attached stock at the west end (Maplewood Village Centre, Old Dollarton Road) is Maplewood, not Dollarton, and is excluded in.
  • Transit anchors: TransLink route 211 (Phibbs Exchange / Burrard Station) runs via Dollarton Highway between Deep Cove and Phibbs Exchange, with some trips continuing to Burrard Station; route 212 runs via Dollarton Highway and Main Street to Phibbs Exchange; route 215 (Indian River) runs via Main Street, Dollarton Highway and Old Dollarton Road, then Riverside Drive and Mount Seymour Parkway. The R2 RapidBus connects at Phibbs Exchange and, since September 7, 2026, runs one-seat from Park Royal through Lonsdale Quay and Phibbs Exchange to Metrotown Station.
  • Anchors inside and beside the area: Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park), 4141 Dollarton Highway, is the waterfront park beside the condo complex; Parkgate Community Centre (3625 Banff Court) and the Parkgate library branch (3675 Banff Court) are north of the area; no public school inside Dollarton itself is confirmed — Cove Cliff Elementary (1818 Banbury Road) and Seycove Secondary (1204 Caledonia Avenue) are in Deep Cove to the east, and Seymour Heights Elementary (2640 Carnation Street) is to the north-west.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Dollarton

  • Shoreline and foreshore — the Dollarton-specific layer: the port authority states the Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) shoreline is eroding and likely to worsen with sea level rise and climate change, and a shoreline adaptation and restoration project at the park, proposed by the District and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, is under review by the port authority. Burrard Inlet waters and the intertidal area are federal lands and waters managed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority — dock, seawall or foreshore work is not a District-only approval. District OCP Schedule B also sets Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside, Wildfire, Creek and Slope Hazard Development Permit Areas, and the District publishes GeoWeb flood construction levels modelled to a 2100 (2080s) horizon plus 0.6 m.

Good to know about Dollarton

  • Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) holds important cultural significance for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, Burrard Inlet's waters are port-authority jurisdiction, and the proposed shoreline adaptation and restoration project there is a District / Tsleil-Waututh proposal under port-authority review — waterfront work near the complex sits inside that process, not just District permitting.
  • The fastest bus on the North Shore now connects at Dollarton's exchange. Since September 7, 2026 the R2 RapidBus runs one-seat from Park Royal through Lonsdale Quay and Phibbs Exchange to Metrotown Station — Dollarton's routes 211/212/215 all feed Phibbs.
  • There is no school inside the sub-area. Despite the family-house stock, no public school in Dollarton itself is confirmed on SD44's pages — the named schools are all in Deep Cove or up in the Seymour pocket, and catchment must be run address by address.
  • One developer-era number, two forms. Listings and directories often quote Cates Landing as "95 homes" without the split — 80 of those are apartments and 15 are townhouses, and the two forms price, insure and resell differently inside the same strata.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC condo buying rules.

Townhome complexes in Dollarton

Municipality, stated first because it decides the bylaws: Dollarton is in the District of North Vancouver — OCP Bylaw No. 7900 / Zoning Bylaw No. 3210. The City of North Vancouver's OCP 8400 / Zoning 6700 belong to the City and are never imported here.

Streets, schools and transit near Dollarton townhomes

  • Where the stock sits: detached houses on R1 and R2 lots along and above Dollarton Highway, and one strata complex only — Cates Landing, on Cates Landing Way beside Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) at the east end of the shore. A neighbourhood source describes Dollarton as almost entirely detached, with condo and townhome inventory minimal and rare when it appears. The attached stock at the west end (Maplewood Village Centre, Old Dollarton Road) is Maplewood, not Dollarton, and is excluded in.
  • Dollarton is in the District of North Vancouver, which is outside SnapStats coverage in Jared's FVR + GVR September 2026 reports — no North Vancouver section, sub-area rows or community medians exist for it, and no other stats source is substituted.
  • Transit and roads: TransLink route 211 (Phibbs Exchange / Burrard Station) runs via Dollarton Highway between Deep Cove and Phibbs Exchange, with some trips continuing to Burrard Station; route 212 runs via Dollarton Highway and Main Street to Phibbs Exchange; route 215 (Indian River) runs via Main Street, Dollarton Highway and Old Dollarton Road, then Riverside Drive and Mount Seymour Parkway. The R2 RapidBus connects at Phibbs Exchange and, since September 7, 2026, runs one-seat from Park Royal through Lonsdale Quay and Phibbs Exchange to Metrotown Station. Dollarton Highway is the main road along the shore — west via Main Street to Phibbs Exchange and Highway 1 (Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing), east to Deep Cove; there is no second road out.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Dollarton

  • Form B diligence (the Cates Landing strata — apartments and its townhouse component alike): Strata Property Act s. 59 — the Form B states the lot's monthly strata fees, amounts owing, approved special levies still payable, the CRF balance and an insurance summary, with the rules, current budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; provided within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page. At Cates Landing, read the Form B together with the building's shoreline and insurance position below — the park shoreline beside it is documented as eroding.

Good to know about Dollarton townhomes

  • The sub-area's only strata complex is filed under a different sub-area (checked Nov 1, 2026).
  • Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park), 4141 Dollarton Highway, holds important cultural significance for the Tsleil-Waututh Nation, Burrard Inlet's waters are port-authority jurisdiction, and the proposed shoreline adaptation and restoration project there is a District / Tsleil-Waututh proposal under port-authority review — waterfront work near the complex sits inside that process, not just District permitting.
  • There is no school inside the sub-area. Despite the family-house stock, no public school in Dollarton itself is confirmed on SD44's pages — the named schools are all in Deep Cove or up in the Seymour pocket, and catchment must be run address by address.
  • One headline number, two forms (checked Nov 1, 2026). Listings and directories often quote Cates Landing as "95 homes" without the split — 80 of those are apartments and 15 are townhouses, and the two forms price, insure and resell differently inside the same strata.
  • The waterfront setback is a number, not a guideline. Under Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525, waterfront principal buildings must sit at least 7.6 m back from the Ocean Natural Boundary Line — the lot-level fact behind every Dollarton waterfront listing, and the first measurement to verify on a townhouse yard or house lot opening onto the inlet.

Lots and land in Dollarton

Fee-simple lots

  • Established shore lots: detached houses on R1 and R2 lots along and above Dollarton Highway; the port authority's shoreline report notes the shore is backed by residential properties.
  • Lot character from the zone ladder, as stated: District Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525 (Bylaw 8799) — R1 minimum lot 4,000 m² with 30 m width and 34 m depth; R2 minimum lot 660 m² with 18 m width and 34 m depth; modifiers R2(S1) at 335 m² / 10 m, R2(S2) at 1,100 m² / 24 m and R2(S3) at 4,000 m² / 30 m. The R1/R2 setback table sets a minimum setback to the Ocean Natural Boundary Line of 7.6 m for a principal building — directly relevant on Dollarton's waterfront lots. These are zone minimums, not a claim about any existing lot's size; the zone on a single lot is confirmed through the District's GeoWeb.
  • Serviced position, as the District states it: District single-family utility fees in 2026 include water at $932.80 and sewer/drainage at $1,255.60, with combined single-family utilities of $2,571.20 in 2026.
  • No ALR percentage split is stated; check any parcel on ALC mapping.
  • Shoreline / hazard position: the port authority states the Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park) shoreline is eroding and likely to worsen with sea level rise and climate change, threatening archaeological resources, shoreline habitat, park infrastructure and cultural sites; a shoreline adaptation and restoration project at the park is proposed by the District of North Vancouver and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and is under review by the port authority. District OCP Bylaw 7900, Schedule B sets Development Permit Areas including Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard, and the District publishes property-level GeoWeb reports including modelled flood construction levels for a 2100 (2080s) horizon plus 0.6 m. The waters of Burrard Inlet, including the intertidal area along this shore, fall within federal lands and waters managed by the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority — foreshore work is not a District-only approval.

Named developments / applications

  • Historic subdivision fabric = built lot fabric, not offerings: the Dollarton Highway lots are established fee-simple lot fabric documented above; no historic subdivision is presented as a lot offering.

Streets, schools and transit near Dollarton lots

  • Nearby areas: Maplewood and Maplewood Village Centre (west), Deep Cove (east, along Dollarton Highway), Seymour / Indian River and the Dorothy Lynas streets (north, up Riverside Drive and Mount Seymour Parkway), and — across Burrard Inlet — Belcarra and Port Moody's north shore (south).
  • Parks, recreation and services: Whey-ah-Wichen (Cates Park), 4141 Dollarton Highway, is a large waterfront park that holds important cultural significance for the Tsleil-Waututh people; the District lists Cates Park / Whey-ah-Wichen among its parks with high regional use. Maplewood Flats, at the west end, is described in the port authority's shoreline report as a large sediment shelf and the remnants of a large wetland complex. Parkgate Community Centre, 3625 Banff Court, north of the area, is the nearest full-service recreation centre, beside the Parkgate branch library, 3675 Banff Court. Health care: Lions Gate Hospital, 231 East 15th Street; North Vancouver Urgent and Primary Care Centre, 2nd floor, 221 West Esplanade. Shopping: the District OCP's Maplewood Village Centre plans Old Dollarton Road, at the west end of Dollarton, as a key focus of pedestrian activity, lined with retail businesses with apartments and live/work units above.
  • Roads and transit: Dollarton Highway is the main road along the shore — west via Main Street to Phibbs Exchange and Highway 1 (including the Ironworkers Memorial Second Narrows Crossing), east to Deep Cove. TransLink route 211 (Phibbs Exchange / Burrard Station) runs via Dollarton Highway between Deep Cove and Phibbs Exchange, with some trips continuing to Burrard Station; route 212 runs via Dollarton Highway and Main Street to Phibbs Exchange; route 215 (Indian River) runs via Main Street, Dollarton Highway and Old Dollarton Road, then Riverside Drive and Mount Seymour Parkway.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Dollarton

The rules that apply across Surrey (zoning, suites, strata, land and taxes) are on one page: buying a home in Surrey: the rules.

  • Hazard Development Permits (District frame — the live Dollarton checks): OCP Schedule B permit areas — natural-environment protection, streamside, wildfire, creek and slope — plus the shoreline record: Cates Park shoreline erosion worsening with sea level rise (port authority), District flood levels modelled to a 2100 horizon plus 0.6 m, and the 7.6 m Ocean Natural Boundary setback for waterfront principal buildings. Pull the GeoWeb flood construction level and get an insurance quote before subjects come off on a waterfront lot.
  • Foreshore layer (federal): Burrard Inlet waters and the intertidal area are port-authority-managed federal lands and waters — dock, seawall or foreshore work needs that check, not just a District permit.
  • If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.

Good to know about Dollarton lots

  • The reserve shoreline is part of the street's geography: the port authority's report places the Tsleil-Waututh Nation reserve lands (Burrard Inlet IR #3) along the shore backed by Dollarton Highway, between Maplewood Flats at the west end and Cates Park farther east — the land pattern a Dollarton Highway drive actually passes.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC land buying rules.
