简体中文

The City is undertaking a planning process to guide the future of the former Molson Brewery site in Fairview. The 7.7‑acre site was developed in 1953 for heavy industrial use. Based on direction from City Council, we are exploring ideas that could support a growing, mixed‑use neighbourhood and help the site better integrate with the surrounding area, which could include:

  • A range of building types and heights, including buildings over 26 storeys;
  • New and diverse job space, such as office, retail, hotel, service, tech and light industrial uses;
  • Residential uses; and
  • Public amenities and open space.
At this stage, no specific designs or development plans have been proposed.

Past engagement and decisions

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on the former Molson Brewery site Vancouver Official Development Plan (ODP) amendment. Our public consultation period ran from April 2 to April 23, 2026. Read the consultation summary (PDF, 1.5 MB) to learn what we heard from members of the public.

Public input helped shape the Guiding Principles and Rezoning Guidelines for the site, which were submitted to Council as part of the ODP amendment. Learn more in the Council report (PDF, 2.5 MB).

On July 21, Vancouver City Council unanimously approved amendments to the ODP, including to the Regional Context Statement (RCS) contained within the ODP, as well as the Guiding Principles and Rezoning Guidelines for the site.

Next steps

Metro Vancouver staff will be leading consultation on proposed amendments to the Metro 2050 Regional Growth Strategy with affected local governments, First Nations, and the public.

The Metro 2050 Regional Growth Strategy amendment application is expected to return to Metro Board on September 25, 2026 for a fourth and final reading. If approved, the amended ODP and RCS would be enacted by Vancouver City Council in October 2026.

After the process is finalized and the necessary by-laws are enacted, the landowner can apply to rezone the site. Any application would be reviewed by the City in accordance with Council-approved Guiding Principles and Rezoning Guidelines and other relevant City policies.
