Broadway Plan development pipeline: approvals are only the first measure

The corridor has a large approved pipeline, but an approval count should not be read as completed supply.

What matters

The City of Vancouver reported in May 2026 that more than 8,400 net-new homes had been approved through Broadway Plan implementation, including more than 1,750 social and below-market rental homes. The next questions are how many move into permitting, construction, completion, and occupancy—and on what timeline.

Confirmed in the source record

Key facts

  • The Broadway Plan covers an area from Vine Street to Clark Drive and from 1st Avenue to 16th Avenue.
  • The City reported more than 8,400 net-new homes approved by May 2026.
  • Approved, permitted, under construction, completed, and occupied are different pipeline stages.

The reported pipeline

The City's implementation page says the plan has produced approvals for more than 8,400 net-new homes, including more than 1,750 social and below-market rental units, plus more than 1.9 million square feet of employment space.

The stage problem

A useful development tracker should not collapse rezoning approval, development permit, building permit, construction start, completion, and occupancy into one number. Each stage has different delivery risk and timing.

What Parcel & Key will maintain

The Broadway dossier will record official project address, application identifier, proposed use and tenure, unit count, council or permit status, source document, last verified date, and material changes without copying protected listing data.
