Canada is facing an unprecedented housing crisis—and, for the first time in our country’s history, specific steps are being taken to unlock massive housing opportunities. Thanks to new legislation in British Columbia, and an emphasis on transit-oriented sites, the province is now in a unique position to unlock tens of thousands of new units in the future.
Join ULI Toronto as Tegan Smith, Principal of Channel Consulting facilitates a discussion with Serena Lusk, CAO of the City of Richmond and Robin Glover, Vice-President Development at Polygon Homes about:
- The details of game-changing new legislation introduced in British Columbia – and the reality that it will be messy in the short term but, has long term potential.
- Specific steps that developers and governments alike are taking to act quickly to unlock housing supply in cities in British Columbia.
- Why a partnership mindset and bringing solutions are integral in developing housing on transit-oriented sites — in the face of complex, ever-evolving conversations around amenity funds, servicing costs, etc.
- Why the country is watching this unfold, and what are the likely takeaways for the National Housing Taskforce, province of Ontario, and other land development regulators
