About Steve Jedreicich

Steve Jedreicich appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 112. The City records the affiliation as Vote Vancouver.

The party page says Jedreicich works as a real estate development and acquisitions executive. The page says Jedreicich's projects include master-planned communities with homes for more than 30,000 residents and over two million square feet of commercial space. The page says Jedreicich was born in New York City and has lived in Vancouver for more than twenty years.

The Vote Vancouver candidate page describes Jedreicich as a real estate development and acquisitions executive who has worked on planning, acquisition and development of multi-residential, mixed-use, industrial, resort and commercial projects across Metro Vancouver.

The campaign page says Jedreicich was born and raised in New York City and has lived in Vancouver for more than twenty years.

Real Estate News Exchange reported on December 13, 2021 that Jedreicich was senior vice-president of development at Keltic Canada Development when the company closed a purchase of 27 acres of industrial land beside the Richmond Olympic Oval for more than $300 million.

In a podcast interview published December 15, 2021, Jedreicich said the training was in architecture and that the move to Vancouver happened around 2005, after which a recruiter opened the way into real estate development.

The author biography printed with a July 2026 opinion article in Daily Hive describes Jedreicich as principal of SJ Development Ltd. in Vancouver with more than 30 years of local urban planning and real estate consulting experience.

The City of Vancouver's Public Art Committee page lists Jedreicich as the committee's developer member, with a term that ends December 6, 2026. The committee advises Council and City staff on public art.

Letters from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in 2018 are addressed to Jedreicich as senior vice president of development at Ledingham McAllister, a housing developer.

In HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey Jedreicich supported 30 km/h local streets, data-led street safety work and better bike route connections. Women Transforming Cities lists him as committing to all six asks of its Our City Hall Pledge.

Daily Hive published the full ballot order on September 22, 2026, listing Jedreicich at number 112 for council with Vote Vancouver.

18 commitments shown · Checked Oct 3

Test the Villages Plan first

Launch pilot projects in one or two willing communities, measure the results, and then expand the Villages Plan using what was learned.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Jedreicich set this out in a signed opinion article published by Daily Hive on July 14, 2026. The article describes the Villages Plan as covering 17 neighbourhoods and more than 14 per cent of the city's land area, with buildings of up to eight storeys. The article names no neighbourhoods for the pilot, no length of pilot and no cost.
What still needs checking
Sightline Institute and CityHallWatch report that Council voted on July 28, 2026 to reject the Villages Plan's changes to what can be built in the 17 village areas. voche.me found no statement from Jedreicich on whether he still wants a pilot, or which communities he would choose.

Match new retail to demand

Check that shops would fill new required retail space before the City requires it in village areas.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 14, 2026 article says some village areas already have retail vacancy rates of up to 15 per cent, and that requiring more retail space risks empty shop spaces. It gives no alternative rule, number or date for how much retail should be required.
What still needs checking
What rule Jedreicich would use in place of the plan's retail requirement, and how the City would measure demand.

Allow more housing types in village areas

Jedreicich says more housing options, including replacement homes, laneway houses and townhomes, should be available in the central parts of village areas.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The article says that in many village centres the plan would limit redevelopment mainly to buildings of six to eight storeys that combine shops and homes. It sets no target for how many homes of these types should be built and names no zoning change or date.
What still needs checking
Whether Jedreicich would move a zoning change to allow these home types inside village areas, and where.

Concern that services will not grow with the population

The article says the City's Villages Plan report gives little evidence that parks, libraries, community centres, fire halls and other services will expand as the population grows under the plan.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 14, 2026 article makes this point as a criticism of the plan's report. It names no action by Jedreicich, no standard and no funding source, so it is tagged to no scored issue.
What still needs checking
What test Jedreicich would apply to show that services grow with the population, and who would carry it out.

Concern about property tax on land with added development rights

The article says some homeowners could face higher property taxes as redevelopment potential increases, even if they have no intention of redeveloping.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 14, 2026 article raises this as a cost of the plan. It proposes no tax measure and names no action by Jedreicich, so it is tagged to no scored issue.
What still needs checking
Whether Jedreicich has a specific proposal on property tax, and what a City Council could do about it.

Party housing plan

Vote Vancouver's housing page, which names mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh as the person who will act, says the party will work with community land trusts on public land, simplify and speed up the development process, use public land for permanently affordable homes for middle-income earners with not-for-profit child care, make it easier to redevelop qualifying faith-based sites into communities with new homes and other uses, and replace unsafe single-room occupancy buildings with affordable supportive housing.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's published housing platform. Each item on the page begins with the words Rebecca will, and the page does not name Jedreicich. It gives no numbers or dates. No separate statement by Jedreicich on these items was found.
What still needs checking
Whether Jedreicich states a position on each of these items during the campaign.

Infrastructure and services for complete neighbourhoods

The page says Jedreicich believes City Hall should focus on delivering the infrastructure and services that support complete neighbourhoods.

Transit passes for students aged 13 to 18

In his HUB Cycling answer Jedreicich pointed to his party's proposal to provide transit passes to students aged 13 to 18. The Vote Vancouver policy document says a Vote Vancouver majority on council would work with TransLink to provide a free transit pass for all Vancouver residents under 18, starting with a pilot within the first 100 days that runs through 2027.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
His own answer names the proposal and gives no cost, number of passes or date. The pilot and its dates come from the party document, which is written in the party's name. TransLink, the regional transit authority, sets fares, so the City would need its agreement.
What still needs checking
What the passes would cost the City each year, and whether TransLink has agreed to the pilot.

Data first when choosing where street safety work goes

HUB Cycling asked candidates to send speed reductions and quick street safety upgrades to historically underserved neighbourhoods first. Jedreicich answered yes, and wrote that the City first needs clear data on which neighbourhoods are underserved and where collisions and other incidents happen most, and then should deal with the worst places first.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
His answer states an order of steps. It names no data set, neighbourhood, budget or date. The answers carry no date of their own.
What still needs checking
Which data the City would use, and which neighbourhoods would come first.

Senior vice-president, development, on Keltic Canada Development's 27-acre Richmond site purchase

Real Estate News Exchange reported on December 13, 2021 that Keltic Canada Development completed the purchase of 27 acres of light industrial land next to the Olympic Oval in Richmond on December 7 for more than $300 million. It quoted Jedreicich, as senior vice-president, development, on a concept for a community of strata (owned), market rental and low-end market rental homes with shops and offices.

Scope, limits and sources

The site is in Richmond and the buyer is a private company. The article says Jedreicich described much of the proposal as not yet decided, and voche.me has not checked what happened at the site after 2021. voche.me counts a documented professional project as a dated action on the issue, and a person can change the tag to other if this one should not count.

Statement

Answers to HUB Cycling's election survey

Jedreicich answered yes to all three of HUB Cycling's asks: 30 km/h local streets with traffic calming, street safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and joining local bike routes to regional routes. In his written answers he pointed to his party's proposals for transit passes for students aged 13 to 18, limits on e-scooters and e-bikes, and traffic lights timed for children, seniors and people with disabilities. He also wrote that clear data on underserved neighbourhoods and collision locations must come first. The answers carry no date, so this date is the day voche.me read them.

Statement

Declined the Vote Palestine Vancouver platform

Vote Palestine Vancouver, a campaign group, lists Jedreicich as having declined its four-point platform. In the group's words the points are: condemn the genocide, sign the Apartheid-Free Communities Pledge, cut ties with Israeli institutions including reviewing contracts, and recognize the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association framework of anti-Palestinian racism. The group says its volunteers recorded the positions and that the list is current as of October 1. voche.me found no statement by Jedreicich himself on these points.

Statement

Women Transforming Cities pledge

The organization's results table, published September 16, 2026, marks Jedreicich as committing to all six of its Our City Hall asks. The table is an image and carries no statement in his own words.

Interview

Vancouver Commercial Real Estate Podcast, episode 31

Speaking as a Keltic executive, Jedreicich discussed the Richmond land purchase, the insurance and flood questions on the site, and a long-term plan for housing, commercial space, industrial space and a 6.3-acre park.

Controversies & public scrutiny

Records are labelled by type, including official findings, civil proceedings and political disputes where applicable. Each entry identifies the response found in the sources and the latest status verified for this page.

Telecom company's complaint about access to his employer's Burnaby buildings, closed in 2018

In February 2018 the telecom company Novus Entertainment asked the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, the federal regulator for phone, internet and television, to help it get into three Ledingham McAllister housing developments in Burnaby during construction, so that it could install its network. The complaint was against the company. Two letters from the regulator's staff, dated June 7 and November 26, 2018, are addressed to Jedreicich as the developer's senior vice president of development. The June letter asked the developer to answer Novus's report that talks had not made progress, by June 13, 2018.

Candidate or party response

No reply from Jedreicich or the company is published with the regulator's letters.

Verified status and limits

The regulator closed the file on November 26, 2018, after Novus wrote on November 7 that the two companies had settled the access documents on satisfactory terms.

No news outlet was found reporting on the Jedreicich council campaign beyond the published candidate lists and a link to his opinion article on CityHallWatch. The start and end dates of the Keltic and Ledingham McAllister roles, and of his work at Polygon, were not confirmed by any record. A search of OrgBook BC, the Province's public company register, on October 3, 2026 returned no company with the exact name SJ Development Ltd., so its founding date is still unconfirmed. The Vote Vancouver page says he has lived in Vancouver for more than twenty years, and the Daily Hive author note says he has more than 30 years of local urban planning and real estate consulting experience. voche.me has not reconciled the two statements. A search result showed his LinkedIn profile describing him as co-chair of the Public Art Committee. The profile returned HTTP 999 to automated reads, the City's committee page names no chair, and the 2026 minutes could not be opened, so that title is not confirmed. Whether he spoke or wrote to Council at the July 2026 public hearing on the Villages Plan is unknown: council.vancouver.ca returns HTTP 403, and the Internet Archive holds only four of the hearing's correspondence files, none of which names him. Three public LinkedIn posts from earlier years were read on September 25. One criticizes City development fees and is labelled three years old, one criticizes carbon fines that older strata complexes could face after 2028 and is labelled two years old, and one thanks a reporter for coverage of the Keltic purchase and is labelled four years old. None is repeated on a 2026 page, so none is scored. Business in Vancouver pages returned an error and could not be opened, so nothing published there is used here. No forum appearance, interview or campaign event naming Jedreicich was found by voche.me as of October 3, 2026.

Space for campaign updates

Record reviewed and extended

Added: his answers to HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey, recorded as six transportation commitments; the Women Transforming Cities pledge results, which mark him as committing to all six asks; Vote Palestine Vancouver's list, which records him as declining its platform; the City of Vancouver Public Art Committee page, which lists him as the committee's developer member; two 2018 letters from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission addressed to him as senior vice president of development at Ledingham McAllister, recorded with the complaint they concern; his own account of working at Polygon; and the Vancouver Food Justice Coalition's online town hall of October 13 as an unconfirmed event. The research date moved to October 3, 2026. No forum listing on the calendar was dated before that day, so no event had to be removed.

Read the update

Opinion article commitments checked against the article and reworded

voche.me reopened the July 14, 2026 Daily Hive article and compared each commitment with its text. The retail entry now covers only Jedreicich's own sentence, that the City should validate demand before requiring retail space. The article states the services point and the property tax point as concerns about the plan and names no action by Jedreicich, so those two entries are now worded as concerns and tagged to no scored issue. The housing types entry now follows the article's sentence. The pilot entry records that Council voted on July 28, 2026 to reject the Villages Plan's changes to what can be built in the 17 village areas, two weeks after the article.

Read the update

Candidate page sentence split into separate entries

The candidate page gives one sentence with four aims: thoughtful planning, responsible growth, efficient decision-making, and delivering the infrastructure and services that support complete neighbourhoods. voche.me now records planning and growth under housing, decision-making under governance, and infrastructure and services under no scored issue, all in the page's own words. The page's words efficient decision-making replace the earlier wording faster decisions.

Read the update

Land purchase no longer counted as a housing record

The 2021 Richmond land purchase and the concept described for it show no housing built or delivered by Jedreicich. The entry stays on the record and earns no score.
