Development in the Township of Langley: Growth, Planning & Key Neighbourhood Trends

The Township of Langley continues to rank as one of the Fraser Valley’s fastest-growing municipalities, driven by strong demand for multi-family housing and a steady pipeline of new neighbourhood plans. Since 2016, the region has experienced consistent expansion in multi-family development, with Willoughby Heights leading the way—accounting for nearly 70% of all development activity in the Township.

Willoughby Heights: Langley’s Most Active Growth Area

Willoughby Heights remains the centrepiece of Langley’s residential expansion.

Key factors driving demand and development include:

  • Proximity to schools, parks, shopping, and future transit connections
  • Strong infrastructure planning through detailed Neighbourhood Community Plans (NCPs)
  • High absorption rates for townhomes, condos, and mixed-use density

With the Williams NCP now moving into active construction, this area continues to shape the future housing mix of the Township.

2017 Planning Milestones Shaping Today’s Market

The development landscape shifted significantly in 2017, with two pivotal planning updates:


1. The Smith NCP Release

The introduction of the Smith Neighbourhood Plan brought substantial increases in land values as developers and investors reacted to newly approved density. This NCP remains one of the most influential catalysts for Willoughby’s multi-family growth.

2. The Brookswood Community Plan Adoption

The updated Brookswood–Fernridge Community Plan sparked mixed responses from developers. While it opened the door for future growth and redevelopment, the community weighed in heavily on density, infrastructure, tree preservation, and long-term neighbourhood character.

Brookswood–Fernridge: A Market to Watch

Brookswood continues to be a highly discussed area due to its large lots, redevelopment potential, and evolving neighbourhood planning.

Developers remain attentive to:

  • Infrastructure timelines
  • Servicing requirements
  • Density transition zones
  • Market absorption as future phases unfold

This area is poised for long-term transformation as the Township balances growth with community preservation.
