An Opportunity To Build Something Great
Bevan, in Cumberland in the Comox Valley, is a rare opportunity to build long-term value on Vancouver Island on serviced, affordable, build-ready, flat industrial land designed for owner-operators, in a business-friendly community that’s eager for new industry. Secure your footprint. Expand your operations. Minutes from Highway 19, no urban congestion, and easy reach to Nanaimo, the central Island, and terminals that connect you to the mainland and beyond.
Bevan is big where it counts. With about 155 acres of developable land, you’ll have room to build a serious footprint without fighting a cramped site. With only four Phase 2 lots left, the opportunity is narrowing fast and Phase 3 is the next wave for businesses ready to harness the Bevan advantage.
Build long-term equity & stability for your business.
Build-Ready Lots Available Now
Bevan offers serviced, build-ready lots in a permit-friendly environment. Phase 2 is selling out now and inventory is tight, with only 2 lots remaining totalling 3.2 acres in this phase.
If you’re ready to build, join industry leaders who’ve already secured a long-term footprint at Bevan. Together, the businesses reflect the breadth of Vancouver Island’s economy, from skilled trades and mechanical contractors to manufacturers and processors. They’ve done their due diligence, weighed the alternatives and chosen Bevan as the place to build for the long term.
Now is the time to get eyes on the site, review lot options and start due diligence. If your timeline is longer, register interest now so you’re first in line as Phase 2 closes and Phase 3 advances.
Location & Logistics
Bevan will keep you and your business moving. Located minutes from Highway 19 with clean access for trucks, crews, and suppliers — no urban congestion and no downtown choke points.
You’re within easy reach of Nanaimo’s Duke Point gateway without paying a premium for Nanaimo land prices. You’ll be under 90 minutes from Vancouver Island’s terminal handling containerized freight, with roll-on/roll-off capability and heavy-lift capacity on site. It’s also a key node for daily roll-on/roll-off truck-barge service that helps keep Island supply chains moving.
From Bevan, you can run up-Island and down-Island efficiently, serve the central Island market, and stay connected to terminals and short-sea routes that link your business to Greater Vancouver and beyond.
Building a long-term footprint at Bevan:
“Get in at the start of a multi-phase, industry-first development. Bevan is the place to secure your footprint early, grow with the site, and own in a market where industrial land opportunities are real, buildable, and accessible.”
Join Industry Leaders
Bevan’s master plan is built around work. It starts with core industrial operators and adds the support uses that make industry run: logistics and fleet, wholesale materials and equipment, food production and cold storage, recycling and circular-economy uses, professional services, and outdoor-recreation industry operations.
Over time, it evolves into a true industrial neighbourhood: a connected network of greenways, parks, and trails; a compact high-street-style spine for limited ancillary services (think coffee and daily needs); and potential for workforce housing and live/work space to keep jobs and people closer together.
Where the numbers work for you
Bevan is plug-and-play industrial land for owner-operators who want a secure footprint, room to scale and a long-term investment that performs. It offers easy access to Courtenay, Comox, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Parksville/Qualicum and beyond. It’s about 4 minutes to Highway 19, about 30 minutes to Comox Airport and about 75 minutes to the Port of Nanaimo.
Comparable serviced industrial land in markets like Nanaimo can run $1.5 million to $2 million+ per acre. In Langford, those numbers jump to $3.5 million to $5 million per acre. Bevan is roughly $600,000 to $700,000 per acre, depending on parcel size. That can mean major savings before construction starts.
Plug-and-play means fewer unknowns. Lots are flat and serviced. Utilities are brought to the lot line (power, water and telecom/fibre). Road and site works are underway. Servicing includes 3-phase power, municipal water, fibre, paved roads and hydrants.
Build more per acre and scale. Bevan supports up to 60% lot coverage without a variance. Height potential is about 35–36 ft. Build what you need now. Expand later on the same site.
Own the dirt. Bevan is fee simple. That’s real ownership and real security. It’s collateral banks respect. It’s an asset you can lease, sell or hold long-term.
Bevan is the biggest industrial opportunity in the Comox Valley. It represents about 85% of the Valley’s industrial land supply. It’s also the largest industrial development north of the Malahat. The broader project is about 163 acres.
Operating costs matter, too. Cumberland’s 2024 light-industrial property tax is about $14.36 per $1,000 of assessed value while Nanaimo is about $20.28 per $1,000. That’s roughly 40% lower in Cumberland. DCCs are also far lower. Cumberland is about $70,000 per acre versus Parksville at about $243,000 per acre, often about 60–70% less. Permit fees are capped at about $3,000 per project over $250,000. That can mean major savings versus other municipalities.
