Connections to Markets and Opportunities to Invest

Industrial Pitt Meadows is "the gateway" to the Metro Vancouver region and is uniquely positioned at the intersection of the urban and agricultural sectors. It's located only 20 minutes north of the US border and Abbotsford International Airport, and only 45 minutes east of downtown Vancouver, the Port of Vancouver and Vancouver International Airport. A quick exit off TransCanada Highway 1, Pitt Meadows is easily accessible from all surrounding regional markets.

With the preservation of the community's farming industry and the presence of our local regional airport, the area is emerging as a hub for agrifood and aviation investment. Other key investment sectors include tourism, business services, and retail trade.

As one of the few areas in the region with large contiguous tracks of available light industrial land and build-to-suit development, Pitt Meadows offers unique investment opportunities. With easy access to surrounding markets, and some of the most affordable tax rates and development rates in Metro Vancouver, it's no wonder Pitt Meadows is being touted as the up and coming location for business and investment attraction. As a bonus, the City provides the perfect balance of urban appeal and rural charm, and is the natural place to invest, start your business, raise your family, and enjoy the outdoors.
