Although the Expo Line has bisected East Vancouver since 1985, there has been limited transit-oriented development due to zoning constraints and the dominance of established single-family neighbourhoods. This has also been true for the Millennium Line, between VCC-Clark and Rupert Station, since it opened in 2002. However, the extension of the Millennium Line, the 2022 approval of the Broadway Plan, and provincial legislation passed in 2023 are changing this.

Transit Corridors Fuel Urban Densification in East Vancouver

Although the Expo Line has bisected East Vancouver since 1985, there has been limited transit-oriented development due to zoning constraints and the dominance of established single-family neighbourhoods. This has also been true for the Millennium Line, between VCC-Clark and Rupert Station, since it opened in 2002. However, the extension of the Millennium Line, the 2022 approval of the Broadway Plan, and provincial legislation passed in 2023 are changing this.

The encouragement of additional height and density near frequent transit, is leading to more mixed-use and multi-family developments around key stations, like Commercial–Broadway, Joyce–Collingwood, and Mount Pleasant stations. This is also happening along major transportation corridors, including East Hastings, East Broadway, and Kingsway. Expect underutilized areas surrounding Renfrew, Nanaimo, and 29th Avenue stations to attract growing interest for redevelopment.
