Mission Waterfront Lands

Overview

Historic opportunity to develop an 87-acre waterfront master-planned community in BC’s Fraser Valley

Goodman Commercial is excited to announce the unprecedented opportunity to acquire one of Fraser Valley’s last remaining large-scale waterfront development sites, affording over a 1 km stretch of land adjacent to the Fraser River. No rezoning required! Build under the existing zoning or consider a variety of uses under the new OCP.

The Mission Waterfront comprises eight individual titles totalling 86.72 acres and offers a purchaser the opportunity to build-out a master-planned community with a wide range of building options. Situated on the bank of the Fraser River, the property features beautiful views of the water, agricultural land, mountains including Mount Baker, and other serene natural landscape.

The property is a part of the Mission Waterfront Revitalization initiative – a comprehensive planning area representing approximately 296 acres of land that sets out to revitalize the area into a complete, walkable and connected community.

Mission’s Preferred Land Use Option was endorsed in December 2021 and provides a vision for future use of these lands. The key directions of the plan include supporting the existing Downtown, focus on employment lands, pedestrian connectivity along the banks of the Fraser River and an environmentally friendly relationship to the river.

It is clear the vision takes inspiration from other master-planned communities throughout BC incorporating public hubs, mixed-use / residential projects, signature open spaces and waterfront destinations such as Vancouver’s Granville Island.
