Coquitlam Centre is located in the heart of the Tri-Cities (including Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody) - one of Vancouver’s fastest growing communities, servicing a market of close to 300,000 people.

An extensive supply of land and residential options continues to attract high-income homebuyers. Westwood Plateau, one of Canada’s largest, master-planned residential and golf communities, designed to accommodate 15,000 residents is nearing completion. Burke Mountain, the city’s most talked about residential development, will bring more than 20,000 new shoppers to Coquitlam Centre over the next 10 years. Lastly, a significant number of residential condominium towers are already nearing completion while others are either in planning stages or under construction along the northeast perimeter of the Coquitlam Centre property. These will undoubtedly drive considerable traffic to the Centre.

The Tri-Cities continues to attract new retail and big box stores, increasing weekend visitors from other trade areas. The recently opened IKEA flagship store and the Pacific Reach business park, featuring an unparalleled depth of home improvement outlets, drives considerable traffic to the trading area. The David Lam Campus of Douglas College opened its new Health Science Centre in September 2007, with state of the art classrooms and labs accommodating an additional 1500 full time students.
