New Construction Communities in Langley, BC: What's Coming in 2026

Langley is in the middle of one of its busiest building stretches in years, with hundreds of new rental homes, townhouses, and condo units moving through construction and approval in Willoughby, Aldergrove, and Latimer. I'm Stephanie Wong, a real estate agent with Luxmore Realty who works throughout Langley and the Fraser Valley, and I track every rezoning application and groundbreaking so my clients know exactly what's coming before it hits the resale market.

If you're watching Langley for a future purchase, an investment, or simply want to understand how the township is growing, here's a clear picture of the new construction communities taking shape in 2026.

Key Takeaways

• The Township of Langley has approved or broken ground on well over 500 new housing units across Willoughby, Aldergrove, and Latimer in 2026.
• Two BC Builds rental projects — 118 homes in Willoughby and 128 homes in Aldergrove — are under construction with a combined $42.5 million in provincial funding.
• Langley's composite benchmark home price was $954,000 in June 2026, down 7% year-over-year, according to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board.
• Willoughby continues to see the heaviest concentration of new townhouse and apartment proposals in the township.

New Construction in Willoughby, Langley

Willoughby remains the epicenter of new construction in the Township of Langley. Council has given tentative approval to a 247-unit complex in the 7200 and 7300 blocks of 208 Street, made up of 225 apartment units and 22 townhouses across two six-storey buildings, plus space for a daycare. A short distance away at 7342 208 Street, a separate proposal calls for 110 condo units, street-level retail, and 22 more townhouses in Willoughby's Smith neighbourhood.

What makes Willoughby different from a lot of growth areas I show clients is that the township isn't just approving housing — it's building the infrastructure to support it. Willoughby Community Park recently received upgrades including a synthetic turf area, new seating, and pathway crossings, and the township is developing Smith Passive Park nearby, a 32.9-acre natural space with trails and an off-leash dog area.

The BC Builds Projects: Willoughby and Aldergrove

Two of the most significant new developments in Langley right now aren't private condo towers — they're public-private rental housing built through the province's BC Builds program.

In Willoughby, construction is underway at 20230 72B Avenue, next to the Willoughby Firehall, on a project that will deliver 118 rental homes with an expected opening in summer 2027. The Province is contributing more than $14.5 million in capital funding toward that site.

In Aldergrove, a second BC Builds project at 272nd Street and Fraser Highway will bring 128 rental homes by fall 2027, backed by nearly $28 million in provincial funding. This one stands out for what's planned on the ground floor: commercial space that will house a new Aldergrove library, along with a rooftop gathering area for residents.

For anyone asking whether Aldergrove is "next" after Willoughby's growth over the past decade, projects like this are a strong signal that the township is investing in the community's long-term infrastructure, not just adding units.

Latimer and Langley's Next Growth Area

While Willoughby and Aldergrove get most of the attention, the Latimer neighbourhood is quietly becoming Langley's next rezoning hotspot. A four-acre site at 8080 and 8126 197 Street is being rezoned from suburban residential to multi-family to make way for 71 planned townhouses. If approved, it adds another concentrated pocket of new-build inventory to a part of the township that has historically leaned single-family.

I keep an eye on rezoning applications like this one specifically because they tend to shape pricing and demand in surrounding streets years before the first unit is ever listed.

Where Langley's Market Stands Heading Into This Wave of Construction

New construction doesn't happen in a vacuum — it responds to the market conditions buyers and builders are seeing right now. According to the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, Langley's composite benchmark price across all residential property types was $954,000 in June 2026, down 1.4% from May and 7% lower than June 2025. Benchmark townhouse pricing, the product type most represented in Langley's current construction pipeline, was $812,000, down close to 6% from a year earlier.

Regionally, the Fraser Valley entered the summer with more than 10,000 active listings and a sales-to-active-listings ratio around 11%, conditions that have generally favoured buyers with more room to negotiate. For new construction specifically, that often means builders are more willing to talk incentives, upgrades, or completion timing than they were a couple of years ago — something worth discussing before you sign a presale contract.

Schools and Everyday Life in the New Construction Zones

Willoughby falls within School District 35 Langley, with several elementary schools, two middle schools, and R.E. Mountain Secondary serving the area — a factor that matters for almost every family relocating into new construction here. The township and school district have also been in discussions about relocating and rebuilding Willoughby Elementary alongside a new community hub that would include an aquatic centre and library, though that plan is still working through approvals.

Combined with the park upgrades already underway, it's a good example of how Langley's growth is being paired with community investment rather than housing alone.
