Coquitlam’s 2026 Countdown: Lock In Your Office Renovation Slot Now

Secure PCC’s Final 2026 Slot Before the Gridlock Hits

Planning an office upgrade for 2025? The clock’s ticking.

FIFA 2026 is triggering a massive construction surge across Coquitlam and the Lower Mainland. Stadiums, highways, hotels, and public projects are straining city resources. Contractors are swamped. Permit offices are overloaded. Prices are rising.

Why the Rush?

Over $1.2 billion in infrastructure and commercial upgrades across BC
Coquitlam permit wait times have doubled since early 2024
Public FIFA projects are taking priority over private builds
City staff are being reassigned to FIFA-related work

🔒 Act now: Projects started before October 2025 can still beat the FIFA crunch. Wait longer, and you’ll face delays in late 2026 or 2027.

The Cost of Waiting:

Missed out on securing 2026 tenants and franchise deals
Pay 20–35% more due to rising demand and inflation
Risk of falling behind on new bylaws and energy standards
Lose tenants to updated, better-equipped competitors

Why Renovating Now Makes Financial Sense

Coquitlam office vacancy remains around 9.3%, but tenant expectations are evolving. Businesses want modern, wellness-ready, tech-enabled workspaces—not outdated layouts.

What’s Changing:

Fraser Mills and Burquitlam projects won’t add new inventory until after 2026
BC’s Speculation & Vacancy Tax increases to 3% in 2026, raising holding costs
Leasing activity is rising as businesses prepare for the FIFA-driven boom

💡 Upgrading now helps attract high-value, FIFA-related tenants.

Renovation Brings Real ROI:

Updated interiors deliver 20–40% higher rent
Tenants stay longer in flexible, hybrid-ready spaces
Claim up to $42,000 in energy rebates before they expire in 2026
Cut operational costs with smart tech and low-maintenance finishes

New Bylaws = Higher Costs If You Wait

Bylaw 5411 takes effect soon. Delaying will cost you more.

What to Know:

Permits filed after July 31, 2025, will incur higher DCC fees
FIFA projects will take priority, pushing your approval further back
You’ll pay more—but won’t gain any added value

🚨 Delaying means spending more for the same outcome.

How PCC Fast-Tracks Permits:

Designs are already optimised for the upcoming DCC rules
In-depth audits to eliminate surprise fees
Dedicated permit team in daily contact with City Hall
Trusted by local planners to move projects quickly
