Where Maple Ridge housing is actually getting built.

A public-data tracker for completed homes, provincial targets, approved pipeline, rental supply, building permits and the policies shaping the next wave of development.

Provincial Housing Target Order

1,272 net new homes in two years.

Year 4 · Jun 2028 2,925 cumulative target
Year 5 · Jun 2029 3,954 cumulative target
The remaining task 2,682 more net new homes

Maple Ridge needs another 2,682 net new homes between the latest two-year total and the June 2029 five-year target.

Required average ≈ 894 / year over the remaining three target years

Development pipeline

Approved does not mean move-in ready.

Approved applications not yet move-in ready 240 rezoning, development permit and building permit stages
Potential new units represented 1,596 different stages of the development process
Rental units approved in Year 2 466 rezoning + development permit stages
Below-market rentals within that total 123 expected to count only once completed and occupied
Pipeline ≠ completions.

Provincial Housing Target Order units count only when they are move-in ready and have occupancy authorization. Projects can remain in the pipeline through rezoning, development permits, building permits, financing and construction before they ever appear in the completed-home total.

2026 building activity

What the City says it has permitted so far.

City release dated July 30, 2026. These are building-permit figures, not completed homes.

Total building permits issued to date in 2026 1,778
Townhouse units143
Apartment units120
Single detached homes72
Duplex units18

The City's 1,778 figure is a count of all building permits issued, while the housing-unit breakdown above identifies residential units in selected categories. The two numbers should not be added or compared as if they use the same unit of measure.

Policy & growth areas

What is changing the supply map.

Transit-oriented growth

Lougheed Transit Corridor

The adopted area plan directs a large share of future housing and commercial growth toward the future Bus Rapid Transit corridor and station areas.

Neighbourhood infill

Small-scale multi-unit housing

Updated zoning allows more housing forms on eligible single-family and duplex lots, expanding the theoretical supply capacity of established neighbourhoods.

Rental protection

Tenant protection framework

New tenant-protection and relocation rules were advanced in 2026 to address displacement as redevelopment proceeds.

Approvals

Velocity + digital permitting

Maple Ridge has introduced a concierge program, online permit tools and certified-professional processing intended to reduce approval friction.

Growth infrastructure

Housing supply is also an infrastructure story.

Methodology & data notes

Completions, permits and applications are different things.

Housing Target Order: counts net new homes only after occupancy authorization. Demolitions are subtracted.

Development pipeline: includes approved applications that may still face further approvals, financing, construction or market risk.

Building permits: indicate permission to build, not that a unit has been completed or occupied.

Live applications: the City maintains a public ArcGIS layer with application type, status, description and location fields. This page attempts to read that layer directly and displays a fallback if the service is unavailable.

Data reconciliation note: the City's July 30, 2026 news release states 554 net new units in Year 2 and a two-year cumulative total of 1,272. The City's updated Housing Target Order page also reports 751 net new units in Year 1. Those period figures do not arithmetically reconcile with the cumulative total. This tracker therefore uses the City's official cumulative total of 1,272 and does not calculate or display a derived Year 2 net figure.
