Investment Incentive Programs That Work for Your Business

An Exceptional Metro Vancouver Investment Opportunity


We want your business—it’s as simple as that. That’s why we developed incentive programs that take a great investment opportunity and make it even better.

Investment Incentives at a Glance


The Employment Land Investment Incentive program offer a wide variety of incentives for new commercial construction, renovation and façade improvement projects including:
  • Municipal property tax exemptions (additional exemptions apply to energy-efficient projects)
  • Building permit fee discounts
  • Partnering incentives that reduce DCCs
  • Brownfield re-development support
  • Canada-BC Job Grant
It’s no wonder that we’re becoming known as the new investment centre of the Lower Mainland. Maple Ridge has a rapidly growing and affluent population, affordable real estate, improved accessibility and a high quality of life. Whether you’re a business owner looking for a new location or a developer looking for a commercial or industrial property for your next project, there’s no better place to invest than Maple Ridge.

DID YOU KNOW?

Commercial renovations of $20,000 or more qualify for incentives. And if your existing building could do with a facelift, our Facade Improvement Program may be for you. Projects with a minimum investment of $10,000 qualify.
