The future of the Jericho Lands has long been debated, but work on the current proposal only began after 2016, when the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations purchased half of the site for $480 million. Two years earlier, they partnered with the Canada Lands Company, a federal Crown corporation, to purchase the other half the site for $237 million.
Rendering of what the Jericho Lands could look like under one of the two proposals open to comment from Vancouver residents. The area is bounded by West Fourth Avenue, Highbury Street, West Eighth Avenue and Discovery Street. (City of Vancouver)
