Wesbild Support of Schools on Burke Mountain

/in , , /by

In June 2015, School District #43 announced that the land has been secured for five new schools at Burke Mountain in partnership with Wesbild, the City of Coquitlam, and the Government of British Columbia.

It was also announced that Wesbild has donated $5 million to fund a synthetic field at the future Middle School and High School site, as well as 6 acres of land to the School District for the future Elementary School site (Marigold) on the far east side of future development.

Wesbild remains committed to working with the School District, City and Province to ensure that new schools remain a top priority for the Burke Mountain area.

Purchase of Burke Mountain Land From the Province of British Columbia

/in , , /by

In March 2014, Wesbild purchased 370 acres of land in the Burke Mountain area of Coquitlam via a competitive and public tender process administered by Colliers International on behalf of the Province of British Columbia. Our firm submitted a bid for 14 of the 21 parcels that were on offer, and we were the successful bidder for these lands. We paid fair market value and fully stand by the integrity of this transaction.

Wesbild has also participated in other provincial land sale competitions in British Columbia with unsuccessful bids.
