Multiple QRD Development Sites Up for Sale

Across the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, Quarry Rock Development sites included townhouse developments, low-rise condominiums, mid-rise mixed-use buildings, industrial facilities, and resort-oriented projects. Some reached early construction. Others never moved beyond approvals. All were conceived in a low-interest-rate environment and encountered enforcement in a very different market. Now, they’ve headed into receivership or foreclosure.

The Willoughby, Langley: A Townhouse Project That Changed Hands

One of the most visible examples is the former Willoughby townhouse development in Langley Township.

This was a multi-phase, wood-frame townhouse project designed to deliver family-oriented housing in one of Metro Vancouver’s fastest-growing suburban districts. The site was serviced, approvals were in place, and construction had begun on the first phase. But progress stalled before the project could gain real momentum. Framing stopped, trades left, and the site entered receivership in late 2023.

Under court supervision, the project was sold to a new developer. The new owner reset the project and relaunched the same site under a new name: Addition+.

Langley Low-Rise Condo Sites: Buildings That Never Broke Ground

Other QRD sites in Langley followed a different path. Projects known as “The Graham” and “The Gordon” were planned as low-rise, wood-frame condominium buildings, typical of suburban centres transitioning from detached housing to moderate density.

These sites advanced through planning and rezoning but never reached construction. As carrying costs increased and financing options narrowed, lenders initiated foreclosure proceedings. The result is not half-built structures, but approved or near-approved land waiting for new developers.

From a market perspective, these are not obsolete projects. They are buildings that failed at the financing stage rather than the design or demand stage. In a healthier capital environment, they likely would have been delivered without notice. Instead, they now represent future supply that will likely re-enter the market through court-supervised sales or developer-to-developer transactions.

Port Coquitlam: A Mixed-Use Building That Could Not Bridge the Gap

In Port Coquitlam, we have “The Met“, a planned mid-rise mixed-use building intended to add residential density along with ground-floor commercial space.

This project progressed further than other suburban condo sites. Significant pre-development work was completed, and the site was positioned for construction. However, a failed purchase transaction and mounting secured debt led to receivership in 2024.

Richmond, Delta, Surrey, and Other Sites: Different Uses, Same Pressure

Quarry Rock properties also include townhouse developments in Richmond’s Hamilton area, an industrial cold-storage facility in Delta, a resort-oriented spa project in West Kelowna, and additional sites in Surrey and Langley.

These assets vary widely in use and geography, but they share a common vulnerability. Each required sustained access to capital during a period when interest costs rose sharply, lender risk tolerance declined, and refinancing assumptions changed faster than projects could adapt.

In several cases, foreclosure proceedings, rather than receivership, are the primary enforcement mechanism. This suggests lenders still see long-term value in the underlying land and buildings, even if short-term redemption is unlikely.

Receivership: a court-appointed receiver takes control of the project’s assets to protect secured creditors and, where applicable, conduct a court-ordered sales process.

Foreclosure: a creditor seeks to enforce its security by obtaining an order nisi (a court declaration of default and set redemption deadline), which can lead to a forced sale or transfer of title if the debt cannot be redeemed.

$17 Million Industrial Site Sold in Surrey

A 5.69-acre industrial site in Surrey’s South Westminster area has sold for $12.6 million below its BC Assessment, providing a clear data point on how industrial land values are being repriced in the current market.

The property, assessed at approximately $29.6 million, traded for roughly $17 million, translating to a sale price of just under $3 million per acre. What makes this deal notable is not the asset type, industrial land in Surrey remains fundamentally strong, but the gap between assessed value and executable pricing. Tax assessments are backward-looking, while lenders today are underwriting land against higher interest rates, longer development timelines, and greater entitlement risk.

The property was sold by RE/MAX Blueprint Realty.
