Overview
The City of Pitt Meadows is working with Metro Vancouver Housing Corporation (MVHC) on the Non-Market Housing and Child Care Project. This project aims to build a new family-oriented, non-market rental housing project including a childcare facility serving seniors, families, and people with disabilities.
The project has been named Heron’s Nest. This name reflects the central location and family-oriented nature of the development. The heron is also an iconic symbol and emblem in Pitt Meadows, honouring the city’s rich riverside nature. Heron's Nest will be located in the heart of the City's Civic Centre at 19085 119B Avenue, this project will help to support the critical need for both non-market rental housing and affordable childcare in Pitt Meadows. This location is also ideal for families and seniors. It is next to the recreation centre, elementary school, and seniors centre, and within easy walking distance of the library, shops, and transit.

Project Highlights
- Non-Market: All homes will provide some level of affordability with rents set at below-market rates to serve a range of low to moderate-income working households.
- Family Housing: Roughly half the units will be larger (2 or 3-bedroom) to support the need for family rental housing in the City.
- Accessibility: All homes will be either accessible or meet universal design standards. This will support people with disabilities, and support seniors to age in place.
- Sustainability: The building will be high performing with an energy-efficient design. This will ensure comfortable homes for tenants and support actions towards our climate goals.
- Amenities: Indoor and outdoor tenant amenities will provide flexible, multi-use spaces for people of all ages.
- Integrated childcare facility: A non-profit childcare facility on the ground floor will provide affordable childcare spaces for residents and the broader community.
