Frequently Asked Questions

What does a commercial retail renovation at Metrotown in Burnaby typically include?

A retail renovation at Metrotown, Burnaby's major retail centre, typically includes: custom fixture and display systems designed to the tenant's brand, lighting optimized for product display (typically 3,000–4,000K LED with high CRI), flooring appropriate for high-foot-traffic retail (commercial LVT or polished concrete), updated signage (subject to Metrotown landlord approval and Burnaby sign permit), and code-compliant electrical for display lighting and POS systems. All work must meet BC Building Code requirements for commercial occupancy and pass City of Burnaby inspections.

How much does a retail store renovation in Metrotown cost?

A commercial retail renovation in a Metrotown-area store typically costs $60,000–$150,000 for a 1,000–2,500 sqft unit depending on the extent of fixture work, electrical, and finishes required. Toy and children's retail stores require durable, easily-cleanable surfaces and robust display fixtures built to handle active interaction. Landlord-mandated tenant improvement standards at Metrotown can add requirements (base building tie-ins, specific finish categories) that increase costs compared to standalone retail locations.

What permits are required for a retail store renovation in Burnaby?

A City of Burnaby building permit is required for any retail renovation involving construction, partition changes, electrical, plumbing, or HVAC work. Older Metro Vancouver homes may also need our Poly-B Pipe Replacement service to eliminate unsafe plastic piping. For food-adjacent retail or premises with specific occupancy requirements, additional Fraser Health or BC Fire Commissioner approvals may apply. Permit applications for commercial projects in Burnaby typically process in 3–6 weeks. Tenant improvements also require landlord approval and often involve coordination with the Metrotown property management team.

How does Reno Stars manage commercial renovation while respecting retail trading hours?

Commercial retail renovations in active shopping centres like Metrotown typically cannot proceed during mall trading hours. Reno Stars coordinates renovation work to take place during off-hours (typically 10 p.m.–8 a.m.) and during mall closure periods. All materials, equipment, and debris are managed to maintain clear public corridors per BC Fire Code requirements. Noise-generating work (demolition, concrete cutting) is scheduled during the lowest-traffic overnight windows with advance notice to mall management.

What design considerations are unique to children's retail store renovation?

Children's retail spaces in Metro Vancouver require: robust, impact-resistant surfaces rated for high-volume interaction, rounded or protected corners on all fixtures per BC safety standards, interactive display configurations at child height (45–90cm), bright, high-CRI lighting (85+ CRI) to make product colours accurate and appealing, and non-toxic finishes throughout. All materials must meet applicable Canadian toy and children's product safety standards. Flooring should be slip-resistant per BC Building Code commercial requirements.

What was the scope and budget of this Metrotown toy store renovation?

This Metrotown commercial retail renovation was completed within a budget of $23,000–$25,000 and a timeline of 2–3 weeks. The scope focused on the physical environment: wall modifications to reconfigure the retail floor plan, complete painting of all surfaces to create a fresh brand-consistent backdrop, and laminate flooring installation throughout the store. This wall-paint-flooring focused scope represents the core of a retail refresh that transforms the customer environment without requiring new fixtures or equipment procurement — a cost-effective approach when the existing layout and millwork are functionally sound but visually dated.
