Vancouver’s Key Growth Areas
Vancouver’s major projects reflect the city’s need for more homes, stronger transit connections and complete neighbourhoods where daily needs are close at hand. Project schedules, approvals and construction phases can change, but several large-scale initiatives continue to shape how the city grows.
- Broadway Subway Project: This rapid-transit extension is a major piece of Vancouver’s transportation network, connecting the Millennium Line along the Broadway corridor. It is expected to improve access to jobs, education, health care and services while supporting new housing near stations.
- Oakridge Park: The redevelopment of Oakridge Centre is planned as a mixed-use destination with homes, shops, workplaces, public green space and community amenities. Its scale illustrates the move toward more complete, well-connected communities within established urban areas.
- Sen̓áḵw: Led by the Squamish Nation, this large mixed-use development near Burrard Bridge is intended to add significant rental living, commercial space and public realm improvements in a transit-accessible location. It also represents an important Indigenous-led approach to city-building.
- Broadway Corridor growth: Beyond the subway itself, the Broadway Plan guides change across a broad area of the city. Over time, it is expected to enable more housing options, including purpose-built rental housing, alongside employment space, local retail and public amenities.
- Neighbourhood-scale rental and mixed-use development: Across Vancouver, projects of many sizes are replacing underused sites with thoughtfully planned homes and ground-level commercial space. These developments can help create more walkable streets, support local businesses and add housing choices close to transit and services.
Major projects are not defined by size alone. Responsible development also depends on design quality, infrastructure planning, public consultation and a clear response to the character of each neighbourhood. The strongest projects are designed for people: they improve livability, provide durable homes and contribute lasting value to the wider community.
At Vittori Developments, we focus on purpose-built rental and mixed-use communities that respond to Vancouver’s long-term housing needs. Our work brings together land acquisition, planning, design, construction management and long-term stewardship, with attention to quality and local context at every stage.
