Maywood / South Metrotown
Imperial
Imperial is a self-managed, 19-home wood-frame strata at 4695 Imperial Street in the Maywood / South Metrotown pocket. The building's unusually small scale, generous older-format floor plans, surface parking and storage offer a very different ownership proposition from nearby towers, while Metrotown Station, Maywood Community School and the mall remain within a short walk.

Buyer due-diligence checklist
Use these building-specific prompts to structure your document review and professional inspections. They identify questions to investigate, not conclusions about condition.
Construction and major systems
Review the current depreciation report and strata minutes for the building envelope, roof, balconies, drainage, insurance and acoustic concerns. Confirm which components are common property and whether major work is planned.
Age and capital planning
As a 1964 building, the condition and renewal history of original or replaced systems matters more than age alone. Review completed and planned work involving piping, elevators, roofs, envelope, parkade and mechanical systems.
Parking, storage and ownership details
The profile identifies the tenure as Freehold strata (NWS84). General parking information is available, but the legal stall designation, use rights and any allocation to a specific home must be confirmed. General storage information is available, but the locker designation and use rights must be confirmed.
Location and future change
Imperial is grouped within Maywood / South Metrotown, with Metrotown Station providing the relevant transit context. Test the actual walking route at the times you expect to travel, and review nearby active or proposed development for potential changes to noise, access, outlook and construction activity.
