It was submitted with a different design, and approved in 2018. They've put the office space into two upper floors, so it's now taller, but the same total space: 2 FSR industrial and 1 FSR office. Like several other new multi-storey buildings in the Clark Drive area it's being offered as potential lab space.

Ya last drawings I saw they were trying for the full conditional height (100').

From March but Toyota Canada sold their parts warehouse in Delta to Beedie. 267,000 square feet.

It was their wheel rim production facility

140-Acre, 11-Building Industrial Park in BC Begins Construction

Abbotsford is the largest city in British Columbia by area, so it makes sense that it’s set to be the home of a huge new industrial development: the Xchange Business Park.

Developed by QuadReal Property Group and Hungerford Properties — both based in Vancouver — the colossal new build will be located on 3707 Mount Lehman Road, just north of the Trans-Canada Highway, six minutes from Abbotsford International Airport, and with access to the United States border via Sumas Crossing, Aldergrove Crossing, and Peach Arch Crossing.

More multi-storey industrial. Kind of becoming a boring topic IMO.

I don't think Keltic have submitted the project for approval yet, but it's a 1973 single storey warehouse on a large lot, so it makes a lot of sense to redevelop it at over five times the current density (as the zoning allows).

From their 2022 project updates. Sounds like it will still be a few years because it seems like a two year project max?

Wow, a major design change from their 2020 plans for two separate buildings.

Calling it YVR6 pretty much confirms it will be Amazon.

Did they also go into that Oxford distribution centre?

Most of the pictures on the supermetal page are from the Oxford Riverbend building, the last one is from the Beddie Glenlyon building. (Jeez, the background music takes me back to the internet of long long ago.)

On google maps someone has marked the Oxford building as a delivery station, DVY2. As a full fulfillment centre it should get a YVRx designation. Obviously that's the warehouse already confirmed leased by Amazon.
Here's a picture with Amazon signage from November: https://goo.gl/maps/sSKThGre5As476Zd7

This picture is from the new development in Burnaby located at North Fraser way and it is directly across the street from Amazon DVV5. Amazon has a lot going in the south Burnaby.

On Monday, City Council unanimously voted in support of adding the 220-acre (89 hectares) property, owned by the federal government, to the provincial government’s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) designation, which strictly protects such lands for protected agricultural uses.

This represents a partial endorsement of the provincial government’s Agricultural Land Commission’s December 2022 proposal to put 303 acres (123 hectares) of federally owned land in Campbell Heights under the ALR. City Council does not support the commission’s proposal of adding the remaining 84 acres (34 hectares) of “intact forested land” — located along the northernmost side of the lot — to the ALR.
The federally owned property has been used for agriculture for about half a century, and it has been concurrently leased to local producers for agricultural use.

The site is framed by 192 Street to the west, 36 Avenue to the south, the Township of Langley municipal border to the east, and an existing tract of ALR to the north.


The ALR designation is in response to the federal government’s consideration of selling the properties, which may leave the lands open to industrial development — a northwards expansion of Campbell Heights industrial park. Currently, these farmlands have been designated by the City for “business or technology park” uses.

Yeah, obviously we need to move this land *out* of the industrial land inventory.
It's not like there's a shortage WITH that land inside.

Surrey is being dumb again, though I suspect their stupidity will be blocked by the rest of the municipalities like with South Campbell Heights.


The sad reality is that if it wasn't federally-owned, it wouldn't be farmed much.
Real estate prices spill over into the ALR from rich people buying estates and land speculators, so it's way too expensive to actually build larger, economical farms in much of the ALR in Metro Vancouver (especially in Langley and Maple Ridge).

Look at the farmland on the US side of the border vs the Canadian site.
One of them is 'protected'.
