Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam, British Columbia
This record covers Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam together, because the registry files them as one region and they function as one place: 210,123 people on the 2021 census across 15,212 hectares of land, a combined $109.8 billion assessment roll, and two city halls that both publish what almost no British Columbian municipality does — a table of their largest corporate taxpayers with the registered owner's name beside each one.
8 buildings · 5 with an owner established · 12 sources · 7 tier A · 1 tier B · prepared 2026-10-03
British Columbia's land title register is open to anyone but priced per search: $11.06 for a search under section 377 of the Land Title Act on the LTSA Customer Fee Listing current at 1 April 2026. There is no bulk owner product and no price-paid file, so ownership in these two cities has to be bought a title at a time, or read off the rare municipal document that names an owner. The free part of the system is the Land Owner Transparency Registry, which since 30 November 2020 has required a transparency declaration on every new registration and a transparency report from corporations, trusts and partnerships naming the individuals behind them; a search of the publicly accessible part is priced NIL on the same LTSA schedule, subject to a $1.45 per-transaction electronic service charge. LTSA's tax certificate table prices finding an owner through a municipal tax certificate at $120.26 in Coquitlam and $125.26 in Port Coquitlam. Both cities fill part of the gap themselves: Coquitlam's 2025 Annual Report prints a Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table under the heading "Owner Name", and Port Coquitlam's prints Principal Corporate Taxpayers under "Registered Owner" — between them 50 named entities and what each paid. BC Assessment publishes values but forbids commercial use of them.

The marquee buildings
The towers that set the tone of the core, and who holds them. A price is the price a document states, on the date it states — not an estimate of what the building is worth now.

| Coquitlam Centre 2929 Barnet Highway, Coquitlam |
Retail | Not established a paid title search would answer it The City of Coquitlam's 2025 Annual Report lists, under the column heading "Owner Name", Pensionfund Realty Ltd against a Shopping Centre with a 2025 municipal levy of $6,291,453 — the largest corporate tax account in a city whose next twenty-four together paid $30.6 million. The table does not say which shopping centre, and nothing opened here links that account to this address, so no owner is recorded against the building. Morguard's own portfolio page 404s and its portfolio search returns no Coquitlam property; the centre's own website renders only a store directory to a script. |

| səmiq̓ʷəʔelə (the Riverview lands) 2601 Lougheed Highway, Coquitlam 244 acres |
Land | Not established a paid title search would answer it The site's own project website states it is "a 244-acre site in southeast Coquitlam", that "the site is managed by BC Housing in partnership with kʷikʷəƛ̓əm", and that BC Housing "affirms kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation as a partner in the stewardship of — and future planning for — the site". Management and stewardship are not title. No page opened here — including the project site and BC Housing's own development-projects page, which returns 403 — states which entity holds registered title to the 244 acres, so the owner is left blank. It is the largest single landholding inside Coquitlam that no document opened names an owner for. |
Not established | —A |
| Fraser Mills Business Centre, in the Fraser Mills redevelopment 7 King Edward Street, Coquitlam |
Industrial | Fraser Mills Properties Ltd. Beedie's own listing for 7 King Edward Street describes Fraser Mills Business Centre as "16 premium industrial units" from 7,950 to 24,428 sq ft, zoned CD-1, "For Sale — Now Selling", within Fraser Mills, which it calls "the city's first and only mixed-use, waterfront community". Separately, the City's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table names Fraser Mills Properties Ltd as the owner of an Industrial property paying $754,120 in 2025 municipal taxes. No document opened connects the two names, so the registered owner is taken from the City's table and Beedie's role is recorded as the listing agent and developer it states it is. |
Private company | —B |
| Vancouver Fraser Port Authority lands, Fraser River Fraser River frontage, Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam 3,538 ha in the two cities |
Industrial | Vancouver Fraser Port Authority The Directory of Federal Real Property records three Vancouver Fraser Port Authority parcels in Coquitlam totalling 2,032.37 ha and one in Port Coquitlam of 1,505.96 ha, all classed Transportation Marine and all "Crown Owned", with two buildings and 900 sq m of floor area on the Port Coquitlam parcel. These are river and foreshore holdings rather than dry development land — together they are more than a quarter of the two municipalities' 15,212 ha of land area as the province measures it, which is only possible because the register attributes river area to the municipality it lies in. Published under the Open Government Licence – Canada. |
Government | —A |
| Coquitlam RCMP Detachment 2986 Guilford Way, Coquitlam 5,588 sq m |
Civic | Not established a paid title search would answer it The Directory of Federal Real Property records the Coquitlam Detachment Site, 2986 Guilford Way, 5,588 sq m of floor area in one building, held by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police under "Lease or Licence" and not Crown Owned. The federal register therefore proves the inverse of ownership: Canada occupies the largest police building in the Tri-Cities without owning it, and the landlord is behind the title register. The City's own annual report does not list the detachment among its facilities, so no owner is recorded. Canada also leases 786 sq m at Westwood Corporate Centre, 2963 Glen Drive, and 356 sq m at 302-3007 Glen Drive. |
Not established | —A |
| Coquitlam Letter Carrier Depot 1 820 Roderick Avenue, Coquitlam 520.3 sq m on 0.2456 ha |
Industrial | Canada Post Corporation The Directory of Federal Real Property records Coquitlam Letter Carrier Depot 1 at 820 Roderick Avenue as "Crown Owned" by Canada Post Corporation, one building, 520.30 sq m of floor area on 0.2456 ha. Canada Post's other Coquitlam facility, DC Hartley at 1450 Hartley Avenue (1,156 sq m), and the Port Coquitlam Main Letter Carrier Depot 1 at 1628 Industrial Avenue (1,530 sq m) are both recorded as "Lease or Licence" — so the corporation owns the smallest of its three local buildings and rents the two larger ones. |

| Port Coquitlam Community Centre 2150 Wilson Avenue, Port Coquitlam |
Civic | City of Port Coquitlam The City's audited 2025 debt note carries $52,000,000 of gross borrowing against "Port Coquitlam Community Centre, Bylaw 4004, 2.24% due 2049", with $6,853,340 of sinking-fund credits and $45,146,660 net outstanding at 31 December 2025 — the largest single debt a municipality of 61,498 people carries, and a municipality borrows to build what it will own. The City's land is carried at $276,643,454 of cost within $896,908,804 of total tangible capital assets at net book value. |

| Downtown Port Coquitlam land acquisition downtown Port Coquitlam |
Land | City of Port Coquitlam The City's 2025 debt note records a third borrowing alongside the Coast Meridian Overpass and the community centre: "Downtown Port Coquitlam Land Acquisition", $25,200,000 gross, no sinking fund credits, $25,200,000 net at 31 December 2025. The note adds that it is "a $25,200,000, 5 year, non-revolving loan that does not have a fixed principal repayment schedule", that the variable rate was 2.83% at year end, and that "the full principal is due on demand, but repayment is required by July 31, 2028". The statements do not say which parcels were bought. |
Government | CAD $25,200,000 2025-12 The amount of debt outstanding against the acquisition at 31 December 2025, not a stated purchase price for a named parcel. A |
The core land
The most valuable ground in the city, and what the public record says about it.
Coquitlam publishes the single most revealing figure in this record and almost nobody notices it: the city's assessment roll is 80% land. In 2025 the City's own statistical review puts total land value at $66 billion against total improvement value at $17 billion — in a city of 148,625 people, what is standing on the ground is worth a fifth of the ground. Both cities' totals below are the province's own Schedule 701 for the 2026 roll, which is the comparable series across British Columbia; the City of Fort St. John style "largest single property" statistic is not published here by either municipality.
Who owns the town
At this scale the significant owner is rarely a trust or a fund: it is one or two local holding companies, a family in its second or third generation, and often the land around the town rather than the buildings in it.
Neither city publishes a landholding inventory beyond its own balance sheet, and the province's land-designation layer should not be read inside a built-up municipality — its residual class, "Forest Management Unit", has been shown to swallow roads, parks and riverbed in exactly this part of the Lower Mainland, so no Crown-versus-private share is published for Coquitlam or Port Coquitlam here. What can be established honestly is that the three largest identified landowners in the two cities are all public bodies: the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority on the river, the Province through the 244-acre səmiq̓ʷəʔelə site, and the two cities themselves, which between them carry $1.66 billion of land at historical cost.
| Name | Type | Holdings |
|---|---|---|
| City of Coquitlam The land and land holdings column of the City's audited tangible capital asset continuity schedule at 31 December 2025, within $2,804,523 thousand of total net book value. $19,086 thousand of land was contributed by developers in 2025 and $77,715 thousand in 2024; $1,816 thousand was transferred out to land held for resale. The City also reports $39.2 million of land sale reserves, 53% of the reserve category, in its 2025 Treasury Report. |
Government | $1,384,760,000 of land at costA |
| Vancouver Fraser Port Authority The Directory of Federal Real Property records four Crown Owned parcels classed Transportation Marine: 1,328.83 ha, 703.55 ha and a third in Coquitlam totalling 2,032.37 ha, and 1,505.96 ha in Port Coquitlam carrying two buildings and 900 sq m of floor area. The register attributes river and foreshore area to the municipality it lies in, so this is not comparable to dry land area; it is, however, a federal Crown corporation named as owner of more hectares in these two cities than any other entity the public record identifies. |
Government | 3,538.33 ha, Crown OwnedA |
| City of Port Coquitlam The land column of the City's audited consolidated schedule of tangible capital assets at 31 December 2025, within $896,908,804 of total net book value, plus $25,200,000 of outstanding borrowing against a downtown land acquisition and a $12,068,229 land sale reserve. The City added $3,416,666 of land in 2025 and $3,766,203 in 2024. |
Government | $276,643,454 of land at costA |
| Canada (federal custodians other than the port) Outside the port lands the federal footprint in both cities is small and mostly rented. The Directory of Federal Real Property records one Crown Owned building — Canada Post's Coquitlam Letter Carrier Depot 1, 0.2456 ha — and a 0.0040 ha RCMP storage site at 4220 Quarry Road held under Lease or Licence, against leased accommodation at the Coquitlam RCMP Detachment (5,588 sq m), Port Coquitlam Main Letter Carrier Depot 1 (1,530 sq m), DC Hartley (1,156 sq m), Westwood Corporate Centre (786 sq m) and the Business Development Bank at 302-3007 Glen Drive (356 sq m). |

Where property meets office
Recorded only where a public record states it — a disclosure registry, council minutes, a land-use decision. Stated as fact, with nothing inferred from it.
| Holder | Office | Holding |
|---|---|---|
| City of Port Coquitlam | Mayor Brad West and Council | $25,200,000 of borrowing against a downtown Port Coquitlam land acquisition, outstanding in full at 31 December 2025 The City's audited 2025 financial statements record, in the debt note, a "Downtown Port Coquitlam Land Acquisition" of $25,200,000 gross with no sinking fund credits and the whole principal outstanding; the note states it is a five-year non-revolving loan with no fixed repayment schedule, that the variable rate was 2.83% at year end, and that "the full principal is due on demand, but repayment is required by July 31, 2028". The statements do not identify the parcels. Nothing here suggests any private interest of any elected official; the record is published by the City itself. A |
Who builds the houses
New-home building in this market: the volume, and the firms behind it. Ownership of a builder matters as much as its volume — a private-equity platform and a family firm behave differently.
There is no league table of Canadian homebuilders by city, so this list is assembled from the one source in these two cities that names owners against property types: the top-taxpayer tables in both annual reports. A development company that appears there is holding land in the city and paying tax on it, which is a harder fact than a project count off a corporate website. Six of Coquitlam's twenty-five largest corporate tax accounts are condominium or vacant-land holdings in the names of development companies, which is what a city in the middle of a SkyTrain-driven tower cycle looks like from the tax roll.
| Name | Type | 2025 municipal taxes |
|---|---|---|
| Marcon The City of Coquitlam's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table names Marcon Central (No 1) Properties Ltd against a Vacant property at $906,242 and Marcon Central (Mt) Properties Ltd against a Vacant property at $765,027 — the largest pair of vacant-land tax accounts in the city. Vacant land at that assessment in Coquitlam City Centre is land assembled and held for development. The table names the owner and the property class and nothing else. |
Private company | $1,671,269 across two accountsA |
| LM Highpoint Homes Ltd (Ledingham McAllister) Named in the City of Coquitlam's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table against a Condominium property at $884,882 of 2025 municipal taxes. The table gives the owner name and the property class; it does not give the project, the unit count or the address. |
Private company | $884,882A |
| Concert Real Estate Corporation Named in the City of Coquitlam's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table against a Condominium property at $866,613. Concert is the Vancouver development and investment company owned by Canadian union and management pension plans; the City's table states only the owner name and the class. |
Pension fund | $866,613A |
| Boffo Developments (NR) Ltd Named in the City of Coquitlam's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table against a Condominium property at $824,305. Boffo is a Burnaby family development firm; the City's table names the holding company and the class only. |
Family / private | $824,305A |
| Anthem Cottonwood Developments Ltd Named in the City of Coquitlam's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table against a Vacant property at $810,949. Anthem's own website has previously been shown to describe sites it no longer holds, which is exactly why the tax roll is used here instead: the levy is against an owner of record in 2025. |
Private equity | $810,949A |
| Bosa Properties (Poco Lands) Inc Named in the City of Port Coquitlam's Principal Corporate Taxpayers table as registered owner of an Automobile Dealership property at $280,149 of 2025 municipal taxes — the naming convention "(Poco Lands)" is the company's own. Port Coquitlam's table is dominated by warehouses rather than condominiums: 16 of its 25 largest accounts are classed Warehouse, Storage. |
Family / private | $280,149A |
| Beedie Port Coquitlam's Principal Corporate Taxpayers table names "Beedie (Kingsway Ave) Holdings I Ltd / Saputo (Kingsway Ave) Holdings Ltd" against a Manufacturing property at $858,620 and "Beedie (Kingsway Ave) Holdings I Ltd" against a Manufacturing property at $462,852. In Coquitlam, Beedie's own listing markets the Fraser Mills Business Centre at 7 King Edward Street. The firm's own site states it has been "developing opportunities for people, businesses, and communities to thrive since 1954" and that vertical integration covers land development, design, construction, financing and property management. |
Family / private | $1,321,472 across two Kingsway Avenue accountsB |
Commercial landlords
The commercial side, counted separately from housing: who holds the office, retail and industrial floor area.
Between them the two cities publish 50 named commercial and industrial owners and what each paid in 2025: $36,849,652 from Coquitlam's twenty-five and $14,324,216 from Port Coquitlam's. The shape of the two tables is the difference between the two cities. Coquitlam's is led by shopping centres and a transit authority; Port Coquitlam's by a railway and sixteen warehouses. Neither table says which property each account is against, so these are owners of record with a levy, not buildings with an owner.
| Name | Type | 2025 municipal taxes |
|---|---|---|
| Pensionfund Realty Ltd The largest corporate tax account in Coquitlam, listed in the City's 2025 Annual Report under "Owner Name" against a Shopping Centre — more than two and a half times the next shopping-centre account and 17% of the whole top twenty-five. The City's table does not name the property. Morguard's own site, which search results associate with the management of Coquitlam Centre, 404s on that property and returns no Coquitlam property in its portfolio search, so that association is not published here. |
Pension fund | $6,291,453A |
| South Coast British Columbia Transportation Authority (TransLink) Coquitlam's table names the authority against Parking-Lot and Industrial property at $3,730,267, the second largest account in the city; Port Coquitlam's names it against Warehouse, Storage at $385,466. A transit authority is the second largest commercial ratepayer in Coquitlam because the Millennium Line Evergreen Extension park-and-rides and the transit centre are rateable property, not because it is a landlord. |
Government | $4,115,733 across both citiesA |
| Loblaw Properties West Inc Third largest corporate tax account in Coquitlam, against a Shopping Centre, in the City's 2025 Annual Report. Loblaw's property subsidiary holds supermarket-anchored retail across Canada; the City's table names the owner and the class only. |
Public company | $3,374,830A |
| Sun Life Assurance Company of Canada Named in Coquitlam's Top Twenty-Five Corporate Taxpayers table against a Shopping Centre at $2,476,277 — the fourth largest account in the city and the clearest sign in the record that institutional capital holds retail here directly rather than through a REIT. |
Institution | $2,476,277A |
| Canadian Pacific Railway Company The second largest account in Port Coquitlam, named in the City's Principal Corporate Taxpayers table as registered owner of a Railway property. Port Coquitlam contains one of the railway's major Lower Mainland yards; the City's table states the owner and the class and does not name the yard. |
Public company | $1,355,570A |
| 0697788 BC Ltd The largest single tax account in Port Coquitlam, listed under "Registered Owner" against a Shopping Centre. A numbered company is exactly the case the Land Owner Transparency Registry exists for: since 30 November 2020 a corporation acquiring land must file a transparency report naming its interest holders, and a search of the publicly accessible part is free. No such search was run here and no person is named. |
Private company | $1,987,325A |
| Kebet Holdings Ltd Third largest in Port Coquitlam, against Warehouse, Storage property. It leads a block of sixteen warehouse accounts in the city's top twenty-five — Lwest Holdings, 629654 BC Ltd, 566203 BC Ltd, Sysco Canada, De Gobbi Industries, Viam Holdings, Consolidated Fastfrate, Flood Tide Capital, RPMG Holdings, Lloyd Investments, Breezy Properties and Liberty Properties (DT) among them — which is what the Dominion Triangle and Mary Hill industrial estates look like on a tax roll. |
Private company | $902,102A |
| IKEA Properties Ltd Named in Coquitlam's table against Retail Sales property at $1,028,056. Other named single-use retail and industrial owners in the same table are Lafarge Canada Inc ($991,846, concrete mixing plants), Stella-Jones Inc ($971,816, industrial), BC Hydro and Power Authority ($944,337, electric power systems), Great Canadian Gaming Corp ($892,670, stores and service commercial) and Home Depot Holdings Inc ($736,608). |
Public company | $1,028,056A |
Looked for and not found
Claims this page would have made if a source could be opened. They are left out rather than guessed.
- Who holds registered title to Coquitlam Centre. The City's own table names Pensionfund Realty Ltd as owner of the largest shopping-centre tax account in Coquitlam but does not name the property; Morguard's property page 404s and its portfolio search returns no Coquitlam asset; the centre's own website renders only a store directory to a script. The floor area and store count are therefore not published either.
- Who holds registered title to the 244 acres at səmiq̓ʷəʔelə / Riverview. The project's own site states only that the site is managed by BC Housing in partnership with kʷikʷəƛ̓əm, and BC Housing's own development-projects page returns 403 to both curl and WebFetch.
- Which properties the fifty named top-taxpayer accounts are against. Both cities publish the owner name, the property class and the levy, and none of the three addresses.
- The landlord behind the Coquitlam RCMP Detachment, the Port Coquitlam letter carrier depot, DC Hartley and Westwood Corporate Centre. The federal register establishes that Canada leases rather than owns each of them, which is the end of what it can tell us.
- Any Crown-versus-private land share for either city. The province's Land Designations for Forest Management layer has a residual class that returns "Forest Management Unit" for roads, parks, hospital land and riverbed in the Lower Mainland, so it is not used inside these boundaries.
- No open dataset names the owner of a BC parcel. ParcelMap BC's public extract is geometry plus PID; BC Assessment's full roll is restricted to named users and its site forbids commercial use of the values.
- BC publishes no price-paid file. Property transfer tax data is monthly counts and aggregate fair market value by municipality, with small counts suppressed — Port Coquitlam's corporate-transaction count was not releasable in 8 of 12 months of 2025.
