About

EDGAR Development is a visionary real estate firm dedicated to commercial development and investment opportunities in Canada. Operating with a "Build to thrive" philosophy, the company specializes in creating vibrant communities on the picturesque west coast of Canada. With a human-first design process, they aspire to build resilient, connected, and thriving centers that cater to the needs and dreams of tomorrow's change-makers.

At the forefront of their latest project is the proposed redevelopment of Columbia Square in the City of New Westminster. This ambitious venture envisions transforming the 7.1-acre site into a pedestrian-oriented community centred around transit and green spaces. With eight high-rise towers, the development aims to provide a comprehensive range of housing options, including affordable, market rental, and strata condos, along with amenities like daycare, office, and retail spaces.

EDGAR's innovative approach focuses on creating a car-free, transit-oriented community within an urban forest. The development's strategic phasing ensures minimal impact on existing essential services and integrates housing for an affordable housing provider and additional market rental sites. The project aims to enhance the downtown area by incorporating accessible walkways, bike routes, play spaces, and a central green space for community gatherings and cultural events.

Led by President Peter Edgar, the EDGAR team is committed to delivering a transformative living experience while working closely with the City of New Westminster and engaging with Indigenous communities. Their dedication to sustainability and the enrichment of urban spaces makes EDGAR Development a driving force in shaping the future of master-planned communities in the Greater Vancouver Area.
