NEIGHBORHOOD PLANS

A Compact City With Focused, High-Quality Growth

Unlike many neighbouring communities, Pitt Meadows is defined by its small population, limited land supply, and strong agricultural protections. These constraints have created a market where:

  • Multi-family projects show strong absorption rates
  • Supply remains highly controlled and predictable
  • Demand is driven by local buyers, commuters, and young families
  • Pricing remains stable due to limited future inventory

This stable, slow-and-steady development pattern makes Pitt Meadows a market built on long-term value rather than speculative growth.

City Centre & Transit-Oriented Redevelopment

Pitt Meadows’ most significant opportunities are concentrated around its City Centre, which benefits from:

  • Walkable access to shops, parks, and community amenities'
  • Direct access to the West Coast Express, providing fast commuter service to Vancouver
  • Mixed-use zoning that supports condominiums, rentals, and commercial space

With the new Community Centre & Arena and ongoing public investments, the City Centre is becoming even more attractive for mid-rise development and modern residential living.

Land Use Planning & the Official Community Plan (OCP)

Pitt Meadows’ OCP emphasizes responsible, environmentally sensitive growth.

Key OCP Themes

  • Vibrant, pedestrian-friendly City Centre
  • More housing diversity (townhomes, apartments, mixed-use buildings)
  • Preservation of agricultural and environmentally sensitive lands
  • High-quality design with strong focus on community character

Because most of Pitt Meadows is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), developable areas are limited—creating predictable density nodes for builders and investors.

Transportation Investments Are Shaping Future Demand

Pitt Meadows’ location provides excellent transportation connectivity, highlighted by:

  • West Coast Express commuter rail
  • Golden Ears Bridge linking to Langley, Surrey & Maple Ridge
  • Lougheed Highway for regional access
  • Cycling and trail networks connecting key neighbourhoods

As transportation options continue to expand, demand for transit-friendly housing—particularly condos and townhomes—continues to grow.

Emerging Corridors: Where Future Development Will Focus

While Pitt Meadows has far less raw land for new neighbourhoods, several strategic corridors will shape future multi-family potential:

1. City Centre Corridor

The core location for new mixed-use and mid-rise residential projects.

2. North Lougheed Corridor (Long-Term Visioning)

Potential future employment and redevelopment opportunities tied to infrastructure upgrades.

3. Osprey Village Influence Zone

While mostly established, demand remains high for riverfront living, boutique retail, and walkable amenities, influencing nearby developments.

4. Airport & Industrial Lands (Non-Residential)

Significant employment lands add economic stability, attracting commercial tenants and supporting residential absorption.

Why Pitt Meadows Is a Strategic Market

Pitt Meadows appeals to developers, investors, and homeowners looking for a stable, well-managed, long-term market:

  • Limited developable land ensures consistent demand and strong pricing
  • Transit access (West Coast Express) supports commuter demand
  • City Centre revitalization provides predictable development pathways
  • Strong community identity and high quality of life
  • Balanced OCP that supports urban growth without sacrificing agricultural heritage

Pitt Meadows isn’t a “boom-and-bust” market—it’s a steady performer where homes hold value and demand remains reliably strong.
