The housing crisis in Canada, especially in Vancouver, has created a challenging environment for real estate developers. Rising interest rates, high building costs, labor shortages, inflation, and global effects have all impacted the local market. Given these challenges, developers must carefully consider the location and type of product they provide for the community.
The Tri-Cities area, made up of Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, and Coquitlam is known for its beautiful natural scenery, thriving economy, and diverse population. It is a growing metropolitan area that has attracted investors and real estate developers worldwide. In this article, we will explore the unique opportunities and advantages that Tri-Cities offers to developers and community builders.
Overview of Tri-Cities
One of the most significant advantages of Tri-Cities is its excellent transportation infrastructure. The Evergreen Skytrain connects Port Moody and Coquitlam to downtown Vancouver, and the West Coast Express train provides a 20-minute ride from Port Moody to downtown. The area is also approximately 40-50 minutes from downtown Vancouver.
Tri-Cities is known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, making it an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle. It provides abundant outdoor activities, and Port Moody offers an oceanfront community.
The area’s lifestyle is unique, as it is one of the few neighborhoods that values building communities where families belong and grow. It is family-oriented, meaning people come to Tri-Cities to feel at home, like they belong, and to go to a place where they are heard, and the community cares for them.
Tri-Cities has many amenities, including parks, lakes, ocean fronts, soccer fields and parks, hikes, walks, golf courses, and trails. The area also has access to several post-secondary educational institutions, neighboring Simon Fraser University and Douglas College. As the city grows, more educational sectors are making their way to Tri-Cities.
The business growth in Tri-Cities has been noticeable, with extensive growth in Tri-City Chamber membership. Thousands of businesses are flourishing in the Tri-City community, and the city is looking to expand and grow its business and education sectors within major community developments such as Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) in both the cities of Port Moody and Coquitlam.
