Metro Vancouver development pipeline

See what’s being built while it’s still on paper.

Each week, Plotline reads the public record of Metro Vancouver’s municipalities, from council agendas and staff reports to rezoning and permit lists, and turns what changed into one free digest.

Join the waitlist See an example

New. Advanced. Approved. Withdrawn.

The digest lists every project whose record changed that week, grouped by municipality. Each entry says what changed, where the project now stands and which document it came from.

What you can count on

Every entry links to the document it came from.
Numbers and names are copied as published. Nothing is rounded or guessed.
A project changes stage only when a document says it did.
If a source was missing that week, the digest says so.
Homeowners’ names stay out. Companies and architects appear as published.

Example only. These projects are made up.

Read from the public record, every week

Every municipality publishes its planning and permit news in its own place and its own format. Plotline reads it each week and keeps one record per project, so a project’s whole story stays together, from first application to building permit.

For people who need to know early

Subtrades: Electrical, mechanical, roofing, concrete and every other trade. See the projects that will need you while they’re still at rezoning, long before they go to tender.
Building supply: See what’s coming, how big it is and who’s behind it, so your sales team can call early.
Realtors and presale marketers: Follow new supply in the neighbourhoods you sell, address by address, from rezoning to building permit.
Investors and developers: Track scale and timing across the region in one place, instead of on every municipality’s website.
Architects and planners: See who is applying for what, where and at what scale, as named in the record.
People who run AI agents: Let your own agent search the records, follow stage changes and read the documents, through the API and MCP server that launch with Plotline Pro. See how it will work.
Neighbours: Find out what’s planned for the lot down the street.
