Market Analysis
Scarce Supply, Surging Demand: Vancouver Island Industrial Market
Industrial land on Vancouver Island is a rapidly diminishing asset. Driven by insatiable demand from Lower Mainland operators seeking logistical advantages, vacancy rates have plummeted, creating an intensely competitive market and driving valuations higher.
The chart illustrates the sharp decline in industrial vacancy rates on Vancouver Island. This persistent supply shortage, coupled with increasing relocation interest from Metro Vancouver, positions premium industrial properties like 766 Maughan Road for significant capital appreciation and sustained tenant demand.

Strategic Connectivity
Lower Mainland Access — Without Lower Mainland Costs
Operating from Nanaimo means lower land costs, reduced congestion, and direct ferry access to Metro Vancouver's distribution network. For logistics and transport firms, 766 Maughan Road isn't just a property — it's a competitive infrastructure decision that reshapes your cost structure and service coverage across the entire Island corridor.
Why Nanaimo
Vancouver Island's Industrial Hub
Supply-Constrained Market
Heavy industrial land in Nanaimo is scarce and tightly held. Sites of this scale, with I4 zoning and full infrastructure, rarely reach the open market.
Growing Island Economy
Vancouver Island's population and commercial activity are expanding rapidly, driving sustained demand for logistics, distribution, and industrial services.
Lower Cost Structure
Land values, operating costs, and labor expenses in Nanaimo run significantly below Metro Vancouver — without sacrificing market access via Duke Point.
Port Infrastructure & Market Data
The Gateway to the Vancouver Island Economy
As logistics pressures mount in the Lower Mainland, supply chain execution requires frictionless transport connection points. Sitting less than 3 kilometres from BC Ferries' primary commercial hub, 766 Maughan Road places your enterprise at the literal main-and-main of Island shipping.
Strategic Infrastructure Update — Late 2026/2027 Commissioning
The $110M Multi-Modal Catalyst
The immediate terminal corridor is undergoing a transformative $110M public-private expansion operated by global shipping giant DP World and the Port of Nanaimo.
TEU Velocity
Container capacity is scaling tenfold from 20,000 to 280,000 TEUs annually, creating massive demand for off-dock support yards.
Deep-Sea Berth
The wharf face is doubling to 325 metres to handle direct international vessel calls and high-volume short-sea mainland shipping shuttles.
Secure Border Gate
Integration of a dedicated Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) Radiation Portal and multi-lane commercial truck entries.
