Strategic Directions For Taicheng Development Corporation

Strategic directions for Taicheng Development Corporation: Taicheng has been in West Vancouver since 2009, expanding their real estate development business from Mainland China. In 2011, Taicheng acquired a 500-acre property, which is located in South Britannia along the Sea to Sky highway. This is their first International development. Taicheng recognizes the territory of Squamish Nation and would like to develop the partnership into a lifelong relationship, recognizing that protocol, businesses, history, culture and art are to be incorporated into the development. Owner, Peter Cheng has said that he is in this for ‘proper protocol’ not profit. Taicheng will develop in accordance with the Squamish Lillooet Regional District and the Britannia Official Community Plan, building a liveable, sustainable Sea to Sky village for the 21st Century. This project will focus on two options: How will Taicheng develop the village with the 1000 bed units according to the Britannia OCP plan, instead of the 4000 bed units they originally requested and were declined by the SLRD? How will Taicheng develop the partnership with Squamish Nation without the acquisition of the Provincial crown lands adjacent to the South Britannia village? Each of the two options will be evaluated and an alternative procedure(s) will be selected with the most productive option(s) proposed.
