Jericho Lands | 49fl | Proposed

[jollyburger]

On Wednesday, after numerous rounds of public consultations and design iterations, the City of Vancouver published the draft policy statement for the 90-acre Jericho Lands project being undertaken by the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations — as MST Development Corporation — and the Canada Lands Company.

MST Development Corporation and the Canada Lands Company jointly own the 52-acre eastern portion of the Jericho Lands, while MST has sole ownership of the remaining 38-acre western portion. Although the ownership structure is different across the two portions of the site, the two parties are developing the Jericho Lands as a single project, with Toronto-based Urban Strategies leading the planning and design.

The policy statement establishes planning principles and policies that will guide the redevelopment and is akin to what other municipal governments refer to as a "master plan." The policy statement is the culmination of work that began as far back as 2018 and provides new details about land use, density, and phasing, among many other aspects.

The draft policy statement is pending final review by the City and remains subject to change. Council is expected to consider the policy statement in January.

Phasing

Full build out of the Jericho Lands is estimated to take between 20 and 30 years.
