My company has done hundreds of townhomes in Langley in the last 10 years. They all have pretty much the same design. I'm guessing there is a single garage, entry, mechanical room/closet and maybe a bonus room on the ground. Second floor has kitchen, dining, family room and a w/c. If this is the case then your floor joists run perpendicular to your partition (party) wall. Joists will be 12" apart for sure. There will also be several engineered beams as well. This design will hold the weight no problem, but depending on how close you can get to a engineered beam, the tank my wiggle a bit when you walk past. If you have a stainless natural gas BBQ box then we did the complex for sure. Hope this helps.
