Annual Cost of Business Survey

NAIOP Vancouver's annual municipal survey of commercial and industrial development costs is published each year in partnership with Business in Vancouver Media Group.

In producing this annual publication, NAIOP strives to provide its membership and the business community as a whole with a reference tool that quantifies the costs and processing times associated with typical development projects within Metro Vancouver municipal jurisdictions.

Moreover, we believe the survey can be utilized by the municipalities, whose active participation makes this survey possible, as a gauge for their own development costs and approval processes.

Please note, the chart on page 15 under City of Mission should read "Council
has delegated authority for industrial development permits to senior management
to streamline the approval process"
