About the Jericho Lands planning program

The Jericho Lands are within the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. A policy statement to guide future development of the 90-acre site was approved by Council in January 2024.

The Policy Statement establishes planning principles and policies that will guide future rezonings and redevelopment of the site over the next 25-30 years. The ʔəy̓alməxʷ/Iy̓álmexw/Jericho Lands plan includes a mix of land uses that will create a high-density, mixed-use community on rapid transit with a variety of residential, commercial, light industrial, cultural and institutional uses. This will provide approximately 13,000 new homes for around 24,000 residents and employment spaces for around 3,000 new jobs in a variety of building forms and heights ranging from 4 to 49 storeys.

The program was developed at the request of the landowners, a joint venture partnership between the MST Partnership and Canada Lands Company (CLC). Read the Council approved Jericho Lands Policy Statement (January 2024).

    On March 2, 2019, we co-hosted a welcome ceremony and open houses with the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh (MST) Partnership and Canada Lands Company (CLC).

    The events signified the launch of a comprehensive planning process to create a policy statement for the Jericho Lands.

    We shared an overview of the planning process and roles, City policies and objectives, background information, next steps, and information on the cultural significance of the site, partner profiles, and aspirations of the proponent team. City staff and representatives from the MST Partnership and CLC were also present to answer questions.

    We also asked you to share your vision and to help shape the future of the site. Your input will help us develop draft guiding principles for the future policy statement.
