Several large residential projects on Squamish’s development horizon are set to increase the town’s appeal for residents who make the 45-minute commute to Vancouver and entrepreneurs who want to start businesses in the waterfront community.
The District of Squamish is nearing the end of a rezoning process that would allow two packages of district-owned land to house about 1,100 residential units.
Council unanimously supports rezoning the 100-acre oceanfront land and selling it to a group made up of local developer Bethel Lands Corp. and Texas-based Matthews Southwest.
Adjoining land that is on the same peninsula as the oceanfront property, about two kilometres south of downtown Squamish, could house an additional 2,000 units, District of Squamish Mayor Patricia Heintzman told Business in Vancouver.
