D
evelopers and businesses in the
dense Metropolitan Vancouver
area will soon have approximately
4 million new square feet of industrial and
commercial land to work with.
The market for industrial land in the Metro
Vancouver region is at a record low of 1.5 per
cent, the lowest in North America (Collier’s).
With the demand for land increasing due to
the growing population, one of B.C. smallest
First Nations is emerging with a big solution.
The Kwikwetlem First Nation (KFN) is develop-
ing a 110-acre site off Pitt River Road in Port
Coquitlam. The First Nation—which has under
100 residents living on reserve—is located in
the middle of Metro Vancouver, in Coquitlam.
The KFN’s new development, the Kwikwetlem
Business Park, is situated in Port Coquitlam
and is ideally located for industrial land.
