Innovation Development Site

1221 & 1311 Pioneer Way, a prime 17-acre commercial, industrial, or mixed-use (residential) site, represents one of the last significant development sites in Squamish. It provides a rare opportunity to locate a large format operation (end-user) or to masterplan a comprehensive development project.  The site is ideally located within the Squamish Business Park, and adjacent to Highway 99, within 45 minutes of Vancouver to the south, or Whistler to the north.

The District of Squamish is seeking expressions of interest to purchase or lease this prime 17-Acre parcel of land (including a phased approach) or portions thereof will be considered. Whether you are a developer or potential tenant, we invite you to get in touch.
