WEBINAR

Industrial lands are an important part of the region’s land base and economy. As has been well-documented and widely-reported for many years, the Metro Vancouver region has a limited supply of industrial lands, a very low vacancy rate, and a strong demand for industrial space. This situation worsened during the COVID-19 pandemic, with accelerated demand for industrial space associated with e-commerce facilities.

The Metro Vancouver Regional Industrial Lands Strategy was approved in mid-2020, after over two years of research and engagement. It identified 10 priority actions and 34 recommendations which Metro Vancouver continues to implement.

Additionally, Metro Vancouver has updated the regional growth strategy, Metro 2050, with enhanced policies relating to the region’s Industrial and Employment lands.

Metro Vancouver has completed a number of projects to advance and implement the industrial lands program and continues to work closely with member municipalities, agencies, and stakeholders. Recent projects including studying the impact of e-commerce on urban industrial lands and transportation systems, and further opportunities to advance industrial intensification and densification.
