Throughout 2020, nearly 6,800 fewer housing units began construction compared to the previous year,\u201d said Lori Mathison, FCPA, FCGA, LLB, president and CEO of CPABC. \u201cWith recent residential price increases due to excess demand, this does not bode well for the affordability crisis in the region going forward. However, the situation has improved in recent quarters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The largest relative decline was seen in Q2 2020, where the 5,769 housing units that began construction marked a 46.9 per cent decline from the record level set in Q2 2019. By Q4 2020, housing starts had recovered to 6,639 units, up 6.2 per cent from the previous year. However, the situation varied largely by type of unit started.<\/p>\n<p>Attached housing starts, such as condos and townhomes, accounted for the majority of the decline. Prior to the pandemic, attached starts experienced rapid growth. The pandemic reversed that trend in 2020 as the number of attached starts fell by 6,320 units (-24.0 per cent) compared to in 2019. Meanwhile, detached starts declined by 9.5 per cent over the same time period.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite some weakness, developers overall favoured detached starts in 2020,\u201d continued Mathison. \u201cThis has also been true for homebuyers, where increased demand for detached units has driven prices up despite the pandemic. How permanent this is, and how housing starts adapt, will be an important trend to monitor in 2021.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A more positive sign came from the overall level of major projects in Southwest B.C. The inventory of major projects \u2013 defined as those with a capital cost over $15,000,000 \u2013 increased to $84.5 billion in Q3 2020, up by 14.4 per cent compared to Q3 2019. The gain was driven by new proposals for major projects, which were up nearly one quarter overall and included the new Senakw Housing Project valued at $3.0 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Several projects are anticipated to begin construction in 2021, including the Lougheed Town Center development ($7.0 billion), Broadway Subway Project ($2.8 billion), St. Paul\u2019s Hospital Replacement ($2.1 billion), and Oakridge Centre Redevelopment ($1.5 billion).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSouthwest B.C. continues to attract private capital and will also benefit from government investments. Collectively, the four largest projects slated to begin construction in 2021 will bring over $13 billion of investment to the region, a much-needed injection of capital for our recovering economy,\u201d concluded Mathison. \u201cThese projects will bring jobs and economic activity to the region and position it to come out of the pandemic with renewed strength.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <em>To learn more, see <\/em><br \/>\n        <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bccheckup.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n          <em><br \/>\n            <u>www.bccheckup.com<\/u><br \/>\n          <\/em><br \/>\n        <\/a><br \/>\n        <em>.<\/em>\n      <\/p>\n<p>About CPA British Columbia<br \/>The Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia (CPABC) is the training, governing, and regulatory body for over 37,000 CPA members and 5,500 CPA candidates and students.
