Aspen Landing represents a major milestone for the Sun Peaks Housing Authority (SPHA) — the first rental housing development owned and operated by SPHA.
Located at 1180 Sun Peaks Road, the project will deliver 110 rental units designed to support the local workforce and their families. The development will include a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes, offered at both below-market and market rental rates, providing a range of affordable options for residents.

Artists are invited to propose a creative approach for the identified feature walls, which may include murals, graphic or illustrative artwork, dimensional or 3D installations, mixed-media artwork, or other creative approaches suitable for an indoor residential environment. SPHA is looking for artwork that creates a welcoming arrival experience and reflects the natural environment, community, and sense of place associated with Sun Peaks.

In September 2024, the BC Builds program and the Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality (SPMRM) issued a Property Opportunity Notice to identify a partner to design and construct a new rental housing project in the heart of Sun Peaks. Following a competitive process, Meranti Developments Ltd. was selected as the successful proponent in April 2025. Construction started in September 2025, and we are on track for a 2027 occupancy.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to building secure, attainable housing that supports a vibrant and inclusive mountain community.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tenants are required to meet the income thresholds as per the BC Builds program: as of 2025, the income limits are $136,210 for a 1-bedroom unit and $201,030 for a 2- or 3-bedroom unit.
In addition, the SPHA is considering how to prioritize Sun Peaks employees and their families. The Tenant Selection Policy is still under development. More details about eligibility and application requirements will be shared in 2027, ahead of applications opening.
Applications are expected to open in early 2027, with move-in and occupancy targeted for summer 2027. Updates will be posted on this website and shared through SPHA and SPMRM communication channels.
We are working closely with the BC Builds team to establish rent rates for the building. The majority of units will be offered at market rates, determined through an independent appraisal of local rental values. Approximately 20–30% of the units will be offered at below-market rates to meet BC Builds’ affordability requirements.
Final rent rates will be posted on the SPHA website in 2026, once confirmed.
