How Many BC Presales Are Set to Complete in 2026?
156 BC presale projects list a 2026 completion date, covering roughly 20,800 homes across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley — more than any other year.
By Newbuild · · How we write this
156 presale projects in Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley currently list a 2026 completion date, together accounting for roughly 20,800 homes. That's the largest single-year completion count in our catalogue, ahead of both 2027 (85 projects, about 14,000 homes) and 2028 (47 projects, about 19,200 homes).
Those figures come from every active presale project we track — 444 of them, across 18 cities from Vancouver to Chilliwack — filtered down to the ones still selling or coming soon, sorted by the completion year each developer has published. This is the one list that shows all of it at once, by city.
The three-year picture
| Year | Projects | Homes (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 156 | 20,800 |
| 2027 | 85 | 14,000 |
| 2028 | 47 | 19,200 |
The 2028 number looks small next to 2026 until you look at the homes column. Two projects do most of that work: Kwasen Village in Burnaby (5,239 homes, from $372,508) and Queens Condos in Surrey (3,478 homes, from $500,000). Between them, they account for close to half of everything scheduled to complete in 2028. Drop those two out and 2028 looks a lot more like 2027 — a lot of mid-size buildings, not many towers of that scale.
Where the 2026 completions are
Vancouver and Burnaby carry the most volume for 2026, but for different reasons. Vancouver has the most projects (34) spread across a wide range of sizes, including the largest single 2026 building in the whole catalogue, Oakridge Park, at 2,914 homes. Burnaby has far fewer projects (7) but nearly matches Vancouver's total homes, almost entirely because of one building: Pinnacle Lougheed, at 2,822 homes.
| City | 2026 projects | 2026 homes |
|---|---|---|
| Vancouver | 34 | 4,996 |
| Burnaby | 7 | 4,373 |
| Surrey | 28 | 2,707 |
| Langley | 19 | 1,736 |
| Coquitlam | 14 | 1,540 |
| Delta | 6 | 1,331 |
| North Vancouver | 12 | 910 |
| Abbotsford | 9 | 762 |
| Richmond | 5 | 547 |
Surrey and Langley together account for 47 of the 156 projects completing in 2026 — the most of any pair of neighbouring cities — but at a much lower average price point than Vancouver. The cheapest 2026 completions in the catalogue right now are Highstreet Village and Montvue in Abbotsford and Walnut Park in Langley, each starting at $299,900. At the other end, Southlands Tsawwassen in Delta starts at $1,199,900 and is also targeting 2026, for 950 homes.
2027 shifts the weight toward Coquitlam and Burnaby
The 2027 list is smaller — 85 projects instead of 156 — and the geography shifts. Coquitlam has more 2027 completions (17 projects, 2,737 homes) than any other city, edging out Vancouver's 17 projects but only 1,253 homes. Burnaby again punches above its project count: 8 projects but 4,049 homes, led by Concord Metrotown at 1,384 homes.
| City | 2027 projects | 2027 homes |
|---|---|---|
| Coquitlam | 17 | 2,737 |
| Vancouver | 17 | 1,253 |
| Burnaby | 8 | 4,049 |
| Surrey | 11 | 1,821 |
| Abbotsford | 9 | 1,323 |
| Langley | 9 | 1,236 |
What "2026" actually means here
Every completion year in this piece is the target the developer has published for its own project — the date used for marketing and, generally, for the outside date written into the contract of purchase and sale. It is not a guarantee. Presale completions slip regularly, sometimes by months, sometimes longer, and a project can move from a 2026 target to a 2027 one without much public notice. If you're holding a deposit against one of these dates, the number here tells you what's scheduled, not what's promised.
It's also worth noting that "2026" doesn't mean January. A project targeting late 2026 and one targeting early 2026 both show up the same way in this count — the catalogue tracks the year, not the month, because that's the level of detail developers publish consistently.
If you're trying to understand what a completion date means for your deposit or your closing costs, the guide to presale deposit structures covers how deposits are held and released, and separately how they interact with financing once a completion date is confirmed.
What changes this count
This list will move every time a project updates its published completion year, sells out, or gets pulled from the market — which happens on a rolling basis, not on a schedule. The clearest way it will change: as 2026 gets closer, some share of these 156 projects will either complete on time or announce a delay, and that delay usually shows up as a shift to 2027. Watching whether the 2027 count grows over the next few months, without a matching drop in total projects, would be one sign that slippage is running ahead of new sales. For now, the count stands at 156 projects, roughly 20,800 homes, targeting 2026 — more than any other single year on the board. For the full current list of what's selling in any one city, the Vancouver and Surrey hub pages carry the live, project-by-project detail behind these totals.
