Annacis Island Industrial & Logistics Guide

Positioned in the south arm of the Fraser River at the junction of Highway 91, the Alex Fraser Bridge, and the Queensborough Bridge, Annacis Island is a central distribution and warehousing hub for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. Industrial buyers should verify title structure (freehold, strata, or leasehold), clear ceiling height, dock-level loading, and environmental due diligence.

Annacis Island Industrial Real Estate — Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Annacis Island located and how is it accessed?

Annacis Island is an industrial island in the south arm of the Fraser River within the City of Delta, connected directly to Highway 91 via the Alex Fraser Bridge to the south and the Queensborough Bridge to the north, with immediate links to Highway 17 and Highway 99.

What kinds of industrial buildings are found on Annacis Island?

Annacis Island features high-cube distribution centres, multi-dock logistics warehouses, light manufacturing plants, cold-storage buildings, and small-to-medium industrial strata units serving Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Are properties on Annacis Island freehold, strata, or leasehold?

Annacis Island includes freehold industrial parcels, strata-titled warehouse bays, and institutional long-term ground leases or investment-held logistics parks. Always check title structure and any registered right-of-way or railway easements before submitting an offer.

What loading, ceiling height, and power specs should buyers verify?

Confirm clear ceiling height under the joists (typically 20 to 32+ feet), dock-level vs grade-level loading doors, trailer marshalling and turning radius, 3-phase power capacity (amps and voltage), ESFR sprinkler systems, and floor-slab load ratings.

Is a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment needed on Annacis Island?

Yes. Commercial lenders require a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment (ESA) — and a Phase II subsurface check if prior industrial uses warrant it — during due diligence on any Annacis Island purchase or refinancing.

How do I verify permitted uses and zoning on Annacis Island?

Check the property zoning designation under the City of Delta Zoning Bylaw (see Delta Land Plans & Zoning) to confirm whether warehousing, distribution, manufacturing, accessory office, or outdoor storage is permitted on the parcel.

How does Annacis Island compare with Tilbury for warehouse buyers?

Annacis Island sits at the geographic centre of Metro Vancouver on Highway 91 for multi-directional regional distribution, whereas Tilbury sits just south along Highway 17 and Highway 99 closer to Deltaport and South Delta.

Are there any condos on Annacis Island at all?

No. No residential housing mix — no houses, condos or townhomes — was confirmed on the island; the OCP designation is industrial.

I saw strata units for sale in the Annacis Business Park — are those condos I can live in?

No. Those are strata industrial units (warehouse/industrial bays). Strata title is a form of ownership, not a residential use; the island's land use is industrial and port-terminal.

Is there a school catchment for the island?

No public school on the island was confirmed, and the island has no residential population to catchment; SD37 catchments are address-based through the SD37 School Locator for residential addresses elsewhere in Delta.

Can I get there by transit if I work on the island?

Route 340 serves the industrial area edge via the Cliveden Interchange between Scottsdale Exchange and 22nd Street Station; no bus exchange on the island itself was confirmed.

Can I buy a townhouse on Annacis Island?

No, there is nothing to buy. The island is industrial land under the Delta OCP 2024, with no residential housing mix on it. The nearest townhouse stock is in North Delta, on the mainland south of the Alex Fraser Bridge.

But I saw strata units listed in the Annacis Business Park — aren't those townhouses?

No. Those are strata industrial units — warehouse/industrial strata lots whose owners together own the common property as a strata corporation. Same Act, completely different product: no home, no residential use.

Is Annacis Island residential?

No. No residential housing mix was confirmed on the island; the Delta Official Community Plan treats the island as industrial land, home to the Annacis Business Park, the Port of Vancouver auto terminal and Metro Vancouver's wastewater treatment plant.

How is the island reached by road?

By Highway 91 and the Alex Fraser Bridge via the Cliveden Interchange, with park access via Chester Road / Audley Boulevard and Cliveden Avenue, as shown on the TransLink 340 route description.

What is the Annacis Auto Terminal?

It is the Port of Vancouver's vehicle terminal at 820 Dock Road on Annacis Island, operated by Wallenius Wilhelmsen; the port authority's optimization project consolidated the Annacis and Richmond auto terminals there, lifting capacity to 480,000 vehicles annually.

Condo buildings in Annacis Island

Streets, schools and transit near Annacis Island condos

  • Annacis Island is an island in the Fraser River in the City of Delta, in the Highway 91 / Alex Fraser Bridge corridor; street access is by Derwent Way, Cliveden Avenue, Eaton Way and Audley Boulevard.
  • The current Delta Official Community Plan, Bylaw No. 8400 (2024), treats Annacis Island as an industrial area; it is not one of the residential neighbourhoods named in the former North Delta Area Plan.
  • Where the condo stock concentrates: nowhere on the island. There is no residential condo stock to map.
  • Nearby areas are Nordel and the rest of North Delta to the south across the Alex Fraser Bridge, New Westminster to the north, Richmond to the west, and the Tilbury industrial lands to the south-west.
  • Transit is industrial-edge only: TransLink route 340 runs Scottsdale Exchange to 22nd Street Station via Highway 91, the Alex Fraser Bridge and the Cliveden Interchange, serving the island's industrial area edge; no bus exchange on the island itself was confirmed.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Annacis Island

  • Why there is no condo stock — the city layer: the Delta OCP 2024 (Bylaw No. 8400) names Annacis Island with River Road East, Tilbury Industrial Park and Roberts Bank as where Delta's industries are primarily located, and the island carries an Industrial designation in that plan; Delta's industrially zoned and designated land totaled 1,527 hectares in Metro Vancouver's 2020 Regional Industrial Lands Inventory.
  • The current OCP is the consolidated Bylaw No. 8400 (2024), and there is no separate Annacis Island area plan.
  • Strata law still applies — to industrial strata: where a strata plan is filed on the island, the Strata Property Act framework applies — owners own their strata lots and together own common property as a strata corporation — and on a resale the strata must provide a Form B Information Certificate.
  • Rental and age bylaws (for completeness): long-term rental-restriction bylaws have been void since November 24, 2022 (Bill 44), and the only age-restriction bylaw the Strata Property Act (ss. 123.1/123.2) permits is a 55+ bylaw — neither creates any residential use on industrial land, and neither changes the island's zero residential stock.
  • Buyer taxes (general BC layer, for buyers redirected to residential areas): 5% GST applies to new homes only, not resales; the First-Time Home Buyers' GST/HST Rebate (Bill C-4) rebates 100% of GST up to a $1 million price (maximum $50,000), phasing out to $1.5 million, for agreements on or after March 20, 2025 and before 2031 — CRA's Excise and GST/HST News No. 122 states Bill C-4 received Royal Assent on March 13, 2026 (secondary sources say March 12; CRA's date governs). The older GST New Housing Rebate is 36% of GST, maximum $6,300, phasing out between $350,000 and $450,000.

Good to know about Annacis Island condos

  • The auto terminal got bigger, not quieter: the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority's Annacis Auto Terminal Optimization Project consolidated the Annacis and Richmond auto terminals into the Annacis facility, enabling it to handle up to 480,000 vehicles annually — a 36% increase in capacity — with on-terminal works complete in early 2025.
  • Two approval regimes share one island: island parcels can be City-zoned industrial land or Port of Vancouver terminal land — the auto terminal at 820 Dock Road is designated "Port Terminal" under a port authority project permit (PER-21-019, issued September 26, 2022) — and the approval path differs by regime.
  • The region's wastewater plant is the other permanent neighbour: Metro Vancouver lists Annacis Island among its secondary wastewater treatment plants, serving the Fraser Sewerage Area — a permanent, high-activity industrial neighbour for any unit on the island.
  • Delta holds a disproportionate share of the region's industrial land: the OCP cites 1,527 hectares of industrially zoned and designated land in Delta, approximately 13% of Metro Vancouver's 2020 Regional Industrial Lands Inventory — policy pressure runs toward keeping islands like this industrial, not converting them to housing.
  • BCIT has a campus on the island — and still points students off-island for housing: BCIT's Annacis Island Campus page lists off-campus housing resources and hotels in surrounding areas (New Westminster, North Delta, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam) rather than any on-island accommodation.

Townhome complexes in Annacis Island

Streets, schools and transit near Annacis Island townhomes

  • The island is bounded by the Fraser River channels around it (the surrounding channels are called Annacis Channel and Annieville Channel); nearby areas are Nordel and the rest of North Delta to the south across the Alex Fraser Bridge, New Westminster to the north, Richmond to the west, and the Tilbury industrial lands to the south-west.
  • Where townhouse stock concentrates: nowhere. There is no residential land on the island to map.
  • Transit is industrial-edge only: route 340 runs Scottsdale Exchange to 22nd Street Station via Scott Road, Highway 91, the Alex Fraser Bridge and the Cliveden Interchange, serving the island's industrial area edge; no bus exchange on the island itself was confirmed.
  • North Delta is a SnapStats-covered community; Annacis Island simply has no residential row in it.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Annacis Island

  • Why there are no townhouse rules to apply on the island itself: the governing layer is industrial. The Delta OCP 2024 (Bylaw No. 8400, consolidated) designates Annacis Island industrial, and port-terminal parcels are also subject to Vancouver Fraser Port Authority permitting — the approval path for a parcel depends on which regime it sits under, and neither regime is residential townhouse development.
  • SSMUH does not create island housing: Delta's small-scale multi-unit housing Bylaws No. 8394 and 8395, adopted June 24, 2024, allow four units on residential properties (six within 400 m of frequent transit along Scott Road, in North Delta) — they apply to residential land, and Annacis Island has none.
  • If a buyer pivots to a North Delta strata townhouse instead (the nearest real stock), the BC standard block applies: Form B diligence under Strata Property Act s. 59 (fees, amounts owing, approved levies, CRF balance, insurance summary, most recent depreciation report attached; within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page).
  • Depreciation reports and CRF (strata, general): since July 1, 2024, strata corporations with five or more lots must obtain a depreciation report every five years, not deferrable by vote; since November 1, 2023, at least 10% of the annual operating budget must go to the contingency reserve fund.
  • Rental and age bylaws (strata, general): rental-restriction bylaws are void since November 24, 2022.
  • Fee-simple contrast (general): a fee-simple townhouse carries no strata, no Form B and no strata fees — municipal rules and any registered covenants/HOA only. No fee-simple townhouse exists on Annacis Island because no townhouse of any tenure exists here.

Good to know about Annacis Island townhomes

  • The auto terminal got bigger, not smaller: the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority's Annacis Auto Terminal Optimization Project, in partnership with Wallenius Wilhelmsen, consolidated the Annacis and Richmond auto terminals into the Annacis facility and enabled it to handle up to 480,000 vehicles annually — a 36% increase in capacity — with on-terminal works complete in early 2025 per the port authority's timeline. That is the island's growth story, and it is industrial.
  • The region's sewage is treated here: Metro Vancouver's Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant is a secondary treatment plant serving the Fraser Sewerage Area — a permanent, high-activity industrial neighbour that shapes truck traffic and odour expectations for nearby industrial units, and one more reason the island is not housing land.
  • Two governments touch an island parcel: island land can be City-zoned industrial land or Port of Vancouver terminal land (the auto terminal at 820 Dock Road is designated "Port Terminal" under a port authority permit, PER-21-019) — establish which regime a parcel sits under before drafting anything.
  • Delta's industrial base is regionally significant: 1,527 hectares of industrially zoned and designated land in Metro Vancouver's 2020 Regional Industrial Lands Inventory, approximately 13% of the region's inventory — Annacis Island is one of its four named homes (with River Road East, Tilbury Industrial Park and Roberts Bank).
  • There is no school catchment to check because there are no homes: no public school on the island was confirmed in School District 37 material, and SD37 catchments are address-based through the School Locator — an island address has no residential population to catchment. Families shopping "Annacis" are really shopping North Delta catchments.
  • The bridge is the whole commute case: access is Highway 91 via the Cliveden Interchange and the Alex Fraser Bridge, into the business park via Chester Road / Audley Boulevard and Cliveden Avenue — the same corridor route 340 uses.

Lots and land in Annacis Island

What trades here

  • What trades instead — industrial lots: freehold industrial lots and strata industrial units in the Annacis Business Park, plus port-terminal land at the Annacis Auto Terminal. Where a strata plan is filed, BC strata guidance applies — owners own their strata lots and together own common property as a strata corporation.
  • Fee-simple as the default land form: outside the strata industrial complexes, island land is fee-simple industrial land, held for logistics, warehousing, automotive-sector and service-industrial use.
  • Named industrial anchors — not land inventory: the Annacis Auto Terminal, at 820 Dock Road, is a Port of Vancouver terminal; the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority's project permit for the terminal lists the land use designation as "Port Terminal" and the tenant as WWL Vehicle Services Canada, Ltd. (Wallenius Wilhelmsen). Metro Vancouver's Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant is also on the island; Metro Vancouver lists Annacis Island among its secondary treatment plants (with Lulu Island and Northwest Langley), and the plant serves the Fraser Sewerage Area. Both are operating industrial/port land, documented as land-use context — never as for-sale inventory.
  • Port project: the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority led the Annacis Auto Terminal Optimization Project in partnership with Wallenius Wilhelmsen, consolidating the Annacis and Richmond auto terminals into the Annacis facility and enabling it to handle up to 480,000 vehicles annually — a 36% increase in capacity; the port authority's timeline shows on-terminal works complete in early 2025. This is a completed port expansion on port land, not a lot offering.
  • ALR vs non-ALR: no Agricultural Land Reserve residential land was confirmed on the island — the island's documented position is non-ALR industrial ground, and no ALR split is stated.
  • Land assemblies / development sites / rezoning proposals: none documented for Annacis Island — no assembly, development site or rezoning proposal is named, and none is presented as for-sale inventory.
  • Market figures: the SnapStats FVR September 2026 report contains no Annacis Island sub-area row — its Delta coverage is the North Delta community and its four residential sub-areas only — so no SnapStats figures exist for Annacis Island in this report, and none are presented here.

Streets, schools and transit near Annacis Island lots

  • Annacis Island is an island in the Fraser River, in the City of Delta, in the Highway 91 / Alex Fraser Bridge corridor; the island is bounded by the Fraser River channels around it (Annacis Channel / Annieville Channel), and street access is by Derwent Way, Cliveden Avenue, Eaton Way and Audley Boulevard.
  • Nearby areas: Nordel and the rest of North Delta to the south across the Alex Fraser Bridge, New Westminster to the north, Richmond to the west, Tilbury industrial lands to the south-west.
  • Roads and commute: Highway 91 via the Cliveden Interchange and the Alex Fraser Bridge; access into Annacis Business Park is via Chester Road / Audley Boulevard and Cliveden Avenue; Highway 91 connects to the Highway 99 and Highway 17 routes.
  • Transit: route 340 runs Scottsdale Exchange to 22nd Street Station via Scott Road, 64 Avenue, Kittson Parkway, Highway 91, the Alex Fraser Bridge and the Cliveden Interchange, serving the Annacis Island industrial area edge; no bus exchange on the island itself was confirmed.
  • Schools: no public school on Annacis Island was confirmed in School District 37 material; SD37 catchments are address-based through the SD37 School Locator, and the island has no residential population to catchment.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Annacis Island

  • Two approval regimes: island parcels can be City-zoned industrial land or Port of Vancouver terminal land (the auto terminal at 820 Dock Road is designated "Port Terminal" under a port authority permit), and the approval path differs — establish which regime the parcel sits under before drafting.
  • Flood / dike diligence: the island is riverfront industrial land surrounded by Fraser River channels; the City of Delta operates and maintains flood protection infrastructure including dikes, seawalls and foreshore protection, and is the diking authority with over 63 kilometres of flood protection infrastructure citywide.
  • ALR rules: For completeness where a Delta buyer looks at ALR ground elsewhere: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.
  • Strata rules where a strata industrial lot is bought (the BC strata block — it applies to the lot): Form B diligence (fees, amounts owed, levies, CRF balance, insurance summary; provided within 7 days, max $35 + 25¢/page); depreciation reports on a 5-year cycle for stratas with 5+ lots since July 1, 2024; minimum 10% CRF contribution since November 1, 2023; rental-restriction bylaws void since November 24, 2022; only 55+ age bylaws valid under SPA ss.123.1/123.2, with May 1, 2023 exemptions (younger spouse/partner, caregivers, legacy residents, defined children) — a listing's "45+" line is not a valid BC age bylaw. None of this creates a residential use on industrial land.

Good to know about Annacis Island lots

  • No park, school, shop or grocery store on the island was confirmed in official sources — consistent with no residential population; the nearest hospital is Delta Hospital, 5800 Mountain View Blvd, Delta, in Ladner (Fraser Health); the North Delta Public Health Unit is at 11245 84 Avenue, Delta.
