View of Burke Mountain in Coquitlam from Fremont Village in Port Coquitlam:

Fremont Village is within view of one of the largest residential real estate developments currently underway in Metro Vancouver, the Burke Mountain development in Coquitlam.

The entire Tri-Cities area is forecast to have some of the highest regional population percentage growth figures in Metro Vancouver over the next 30 years.

Fremont Village Shopping Centre Location:

Onni describes the Dominion Triangle as an exceptionally high profile location serving a primary trade area encompassing Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, and Maple Ridge with a population in excess of 300,000 people. This target area is projected to have a population increase in excess of 32,000 people by 2018 over ten-year period.

Developing Dominion Triangle Project with Fremont Village Construction:

Along with Walmart, other potential tenants include Shoppers Drug Mart, Thrifty Foods, PetSmart, CIBC, and Royal Bank. Commercial real estate company DTZ Barnicke recently published a report (2010 Market Outlook) that Canadian Tire was a confirmed tenant for the Fremont Village development.

Fremont Village Layout with Condo Towers:

A second phase on the southern portion of the property along Lougheed Highway will be developed at a later date with up to 225,000 square feet of retail space and a Main Street "lifestyle" component with a potential of two concrete highrise towers and a mixture of low-rise condominiums with up to 600 residential units.

Port Coquitlam – Walmart Green Roof Render:

The initial construction at the site designated as 2150 Hawkins Street will provide a total of 179,292 sq. ft of commercial retail space in four buildings. This will include a freestanding 151,290 sq. ft. Walmart as the anchor tenant. The Walmart building has been designed with a green roof component including planted ground cover giving it a high performance rating in terms of environmental sustainability. The other three structures will have conventional roof designs.

Port Coquitlam Walmart Layout:

The first phase will encompass approximately 14 acres with up to 300,000 square feet of medium and large format retail development in the northern portion of the property.

Dominion Triangle – Fremont Village – Map:

The new development is situated adjacent to the local retail hub of Ottawa Street at Lougheed Highway in Port Coquitlam that is already home to large-format retail including Costco Wholesale, The Home Depot, and Save-On-Foods. Fremont Village is a natural fit for the area.

Onni's Fremont Village development is described as a new hybrid lifestyle project with over 525,000 square feet of retail space in what is sure to be at the epicenter of Metro Vancouver's next great regional retail hub.

Walmart is slated to be the premier tenant in the Onni Group of Companies new 50-acre project currently under construction in the Dominion Triangle area of Port Coquitlam, BC; located at the high profile intersection of Lougheed Highway and Mary Hill Bypass west of the new Pitt River Bridge.

After years of speculation, the debate about the possible location of a Walmart store along the Lougheed Highway corridor between Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, and Albion is over.
