Chilliwack Is Repaving Six Roads This Fall, Here’s Why That Matters

The City of Chilliwack has confirmed a paving program running from August through October, covering six roads across Rosedale, near Little Mountain, Ryder Lake, Yarrow, Greendale, and near Fairfield Island. Annis Road, Yale Road, Ryder Lake Road, Giesbrecht Road, and McSween Road are all included, alongside a city-wide line-marking program starting this month.

For buyers and sellers, road and infrastructure investment is one of the easiest signals to read and one of the most overlooked. Municipalities don’t allocate paving budgets randomly. These decisions tend to follow population growth, development activity, and where the city expects continued demand. If you own property in one of these areas, or you’re watching Chilliwack for your next move, this kind of civic spending is worth factoring into your timeline.

A Hollywood production, a historic orchard, and the neighbours who won.

HBO’s The Last of Us wrapped scenes at Jackson Farm in Maple Ridge this week for its upcoming third season. The original plan called for removing several small fruit trees on the property. After residents raised concerns about the farm’s history, the city and production team scrapped the removal and filming went ahead as planned on August 24 and 25.

Here’s the market angle. Film activity is a strong signal of area momentum, and Maple Ridge has quietly become a go-to location for major productions. But this story also shows something buyers should pay attention to: heritage land and community character here still carry real weight, even against a big production budget. Areas that protect what makes them distinct tend to hold and grow value differently than areas that don’t.

Maple Ridge Just Got a Little Greener, and a Little More Valuable

Metro Vancouver has added 3.5 hectares to Kanaka Creek Regional Park, expanding protection around the creek and setting up future trail connections through east Maple Ridge. The park is already home to the Watershed Stewardship Centre and the Bell-Irving Hatchery, so this builds on an established community asset rather than starting from scratch.

Here’s the part buyers and sellers should pay attention to: park and trail investment is one of the most reliable early indicators of neighbourhood value growth. It’s not flashy like a tower announcement, but civic bodies don’t expand protected green space without confidence in an area’s long-term trajectory. If you own property near Kanaka Creek, or you’re weighing east Maple Ridge for your next move, this is worth factoring in.

Langley Township’s Building Permits Are Down, Here’s What That Actually Means

New Township of Langley development data shows building activity slowing compared to last year. Through the end of July, 1,295 permits had been issued, down from 1,531 over the same period in 2025. Permit fees collected dropped from roughly 6.1 million dollars to 4.57 million, and total construction value across all project types reached 471 million dollars.

This mirrors a national trend. CMHC has flagged rising development costs, higher borrowing rates, and an increase in unsold inventory as key factors behind slower housing starts across Canada this year. For Langley specifically, this kind of pullback often shows up as tighter new supply twelve to eighteen months out, right as demand tends to rebound. Buyers and investors who understand that lag are usually the ones positioned earliest when the market shifts.

Chilliwack Council Hits Pause on a 10 Unit Townhouse Project

Chilliwack council voted 4-2 this week to send a proposed ten unit townhouse development on Collins Drive back to staff for more consultation. The project, put forward by Stone Peak Developments, would add ten three-storey townhomes, each with its own secondary suite, on a property purchased in 2024 for $2.1 million.

A referral like this isn’t a no. It’s council asking for more groundwork before moving forward, often around neighbour input or design fit. For buyers and investors watching this corridor, it’s worth remembering that secondary suite townhouse formats are becoming one of the most common ways mid-density housing gets added in Chilliwack right now. Projects that get referred back tend to resurface in a stronger, more community-supported form, which can mean steadier long-term value once they’re built.

Ranch Land to Rooftops: Eagle Mountain Breaks Ground

Construction has officially started on the first phase of Vicarro Skyline, a major new housing development on the former Vicarro Ranch property in Abbotsford. Pacific Peak Homes is delivering the initial 55-home phase, with the full project set to bring 1,400 homes across 383 acres once complete.

For buyers and investors watching the Eagle Mountain area, groundbreaking is a signal worth paying attention to. Projects of this scale go through years of servicing and approvals before a shovel ever hits the ground. When that finally happens, it tends to pull surrounding land values and buyer interest along with it, often before the broader market catches on.

A traffic light just told us where Cloverdale is headed next.

Surrey council approved a $778,829 contract to install a new signalized intersection on 64th Avenue, right beside Cloverdale Athletic Park. The new light will serve a fresh parking lot built to support the Surrey United Soccer Club’s covered training facility, wrapping construction this fall.

Here’s the real estate angle: infrastructure spend like this rarely happens in isolation. When a city commits nearly a million dollars to support one recreation facility, it usually means the surrounding area is on a growth trajectory. Buyers watching Cloverdale should treat civic investment like this as an early indicator, not an afterthought. Park-adjacent corridors with fresh infrastructure tend to see amenity value climb well before listing prices catch up.

Surrey Just Opened a Review Into Its Multiplex Rules

On July 27th, Surrey City Council approved a full review of its Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) program, the bylaw that already lets most single family lots hold three to six homes without a rezoning application or public hearing.

For owners and investors, this is worth watching closely. Surrey’s SSMUH framework, in place since July 2024, already applies to more than 72,000 lots across the city. Properties zoned R3, with 18 metres of frontage and rear lane access, are the only lots that qualify for a five or six unit houseplex, and lots within 400 metres of frequent transit can add up to six units with no required parking. A review like this typically fine tunes implementation rather than pulling back density, so the underlying opportunity for multiplex conversion and land assembly remains very much in play.
