The city has contributed more than $172 million to non-market housing in the form of land, grants and site prep.

The City of Burnaby has a total of 1,040 non-market housing units, including rentals and co-ops, just built or in development on its land, according to a new city report, and there’s more on the way.

The report states the market value of the leased land typically represents about 15 per cent of the cost of development, citing the Urban Development Institute. And while the 11 sites noted in the report currently add up to 1,040 units, there are still more to come from the Sunset/Kincaid development.
