Richmond – Rosewood Village Affordable Housing Redevelopment

Map of the Rosewood Village site

Overview

BC Housing is leading a community planning process for the redevelopment of Rosewood Village in Richmond. Rosewood Village is located at 8220-8240 and 8260-8280 No. 2 Road. With 138 townhouse units on a site of 9.11 acres, it offers affordable housing for families, seniors and people with disabilities.

The buildings at Rosewood Village have served the community well for 50 years, but they now need replacing. Over the next multiple years, we plan to replace all existing homes and add many more. This is an exciting opportunity to build a more livable, sustainable community for all.

Our Commitments to Tenants

Rosewood Village tenants are a top priority for BC Housing. The planning and redevelopment process will take time.

  • As much as possible, tenants will be able to stay in their current homes until their new homes at Rosewood Village are complete.
  • BC Housing will work with each tenant to ensure their housing needs are met throughout planning and redevelopment.
  • Tenants will get to choose whether they want to move into a new home at Rosewood Village before anyone else.
  • BC Housing will pay for reasonable moving costs. This includes hiring movers and reconnecting utilities.

  • When tenants move into new homes, they will have the same rental arrangement, unless their income or household size has changed.

Community Engagement

BC Housing is committed to a tenant-first approach to engagement. We also value input from the wider community. The things we learn from tenants and the public help set the direction for the future of Rosewood Village.

Phase 1

In May 2022, BC Housing began engaging with tenants to learn about their hopes, concerns and needs around housing. We also met with local community groups, businesses and other stakeholders to talk about what would make Rosewood Village a success. This feedback helped create a design concept for the future Rosewood Village.

Phase 2

In June 2023, BC Housing held a second engagement phase to gather feedback on a proposed design concept. Activities included:

Tenant Information Session
Saturday, June 3

Tenant Pop-Up
Tuesday, June 6

Online survey
June 19 – July 14

Community Open House
Wednesday, June 28
