Onni Group in Coquitlam — Precidia, Crown & the Onni Track Record

Onni Group is Coquitlam Central's dominant developer — responsible for Crown, Precidia, and a pipeline of follow-on towers that have redefined the Coquitlam Centre skyline. Onni is also Canada's largest private landholder, with scale that touches everything from concrete quality to strata governance. This page is the honest read on Onni's Coquitlam portfolio.

Craig has represented buyers and sellers in Crown (all three towers), Precidia (active presale), and adjacent Onni product. Every observation below is drawn from completed deals and direct strata board engagement — not the developer's marketing cycle.

In Coquitlam, Onni is concentrated around Coquitlam Central SkyTrain Station with Crown (three 48–55 storey towers), Precidia (active presale), and a multi-tower plan continuing into the 2030s.

Step by step

What to know before buying Onni in Coquitlam

  1. 1
    Tour a completed Onni tower (Crown 1 has an active resale market) before signing a presale. The interior finish, balcony depth, and sound performance tell you what Crown 2 and Precidia will feel like.
  2. 2
    Investor concentration matters. Onni's Coquitlam towers historically have higher rental-occupancy rates (30–50% rented) than Polygon or Concert. Check the strata Form B for current tenant occupancy — it affects insurance, strata fees, and building culture.
  3. 3
    Request the building envelope report and warranty claims history at the sales centre. Onni towers have had mixed envelope performance across BC — some flawless (Crown 1), some with minor remediation (a few Vancouver towers). Coquitlam product has been clean to date.
  4. 4
    Confirm parking and storage assignments in the DS. Onni sometimes separates parking stalls and lockers into a secondary purchase option, adding $10–$20K to the purchase price. Read the fine print.
  5. 5
    Engage a BC strata lawyer within the 7-day REDMA rescission window. Onni Disclosure Statements are technical and dense — a lawyer catches the assignment-fee language, rental caps, and any co-tenancy restrictions.

Craig's take
Onni towers are the right product for the right buyer. If you want a vertical, urban Coquitlam lifestyle with extensive amenities and a central SkyTrain location, Onni's portfolio is the deepest in the city. If you want a quiet, family-oriented, owner-occupied building with low rental ratios, Polygon's Windsor Gate is probably a better fit. Neither is wrong — they just serve different buyers.

Frequently asked

Everything new-construction buyers ask Craig.

Where are Onni's Coquitlam projects located?

All current Onni projects are within a 3-minute walk of Coquitlam Central SkyTrain Station, concentrated on Pinetree Way between Barnet Highway and Glen Drive.

Are Onni towers concrete or wood frame?

All Crown and Precidia towers are concrete construction at 48–60 storeys.

How tall is the tallest Onni Coquitlam tower?

Crown 3 at 55 storeys is currently Coquitlam's tallest residential tower. Precidia is planned for a similar height.

What's the typical floor plan layout in Crown?

Crown 1–3 feature primarily 1-bed (500–620 sqft), 1-bed + den (630–750 sqft), and 2-bed (820–1,050 sqft) floor plans. 3-bed units are rare and command premium pricing.

What's the parking situation at Crown?

1 stall per 1-bed unit, 1–2 stalls per 2-bed unit. Additional stalls are $15K–$25K purchase or $120–$180/month rental. EV charging is available on most stalls with strata approval.

What are Crown's strata fees?

Approximately $0.52–$0.70 per sqft per month. A 900 sqft 2-bed runs $470–$630/month. Includes extensive amenity access (pool, gym, party room, concierge during business hours).

Is Crown rental-friendly?

Yes. BC's 2022 rental-restriction ban applies. Some short-term rental (Airbnb-style) restrictions exist per individual strata bylaw — check before committing.

How does Onni compare to Polygon on resale?

Onni's Crown resale prices have tracked 2–5% below comparable Polygon Windsor Gate product, reflecting higher rental concentration and slightly larger building scale (more units = more competition on resale). Not a quality difference — a market dynamic.

Does Onni allow presale assignments?

Only with builder consent and payment of an assignment fee (typically 1–2% of purchase price). Assignments are reviewed case-by-case and are more restricted in early phases than in late phases.

When does Precidia complete?

Q2 2027 is the current target completion per the Disclosure Statement. Outside completion date is Q4 2027. Builders frequently hit the earlier date; delays into the outside window are uncommon but possible.
