Jericho Lands Planning Program

The Jericho Lands are within the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

The ʔəy̓alməxʷ/Iy̓álmexw/Jericho Lands Planning Program aims to guide the development of the 90-acre site at the request of the landowners, a joint venture partnership between the Musqueam, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh (MST) Partnership, and Canada Lands Company (CLC). 

This is a unique project that will:

  • Embed and celebrate MST Nations’ culture in planning and design
  • Create a high-density mixed-use community on the future UBC SkyTrain extension with:
    • Approximately 13,000 new homes for around 24,000 residents
    • Employment spaces for around 3,000 new jobs
  • Provide a diversity of housing types and a range of affordable housing
  • Provide 30 acres of park space and public open space
  • Provide community amenities and infrastructure (childcare, parks, arts and cultural spaces, social spaces,  a community centre, a Vancouver School Board Elementary School, a non-traditional library)
