01 / Introduction
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.
Daily Hive published the full ballot order on September 22, 2026, listing Jedreicich at number 112 for council with Vote Vancouver.
CityHallWatch, republishing a Fairview/South Granville Action Committee profile on September 22, 2026, says Vote Vancouver was founded in 2025 after Rebecca Bligh left ABC Vancouver, and that the party describes itself as centrist and pragmatic.
voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list and the campaign material linked under Sources. The campaign has not been contacted, and no candidate-supplied content appears on this page.

2026 · PlanningCampaign pledge
Test the Villages Plan first
Run the Villages Plan in one or two willing neighbourhoods, measure the results, then decide whether to extend it.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Jedreicich set this out in a signed opinion article published by Daily Hive on July 14, 2026. The article says the plan covers 17 neighbourhoods and more than 14 percent of the city's land area, allows buildings up to eight storeys and calls for about one million square feet of new retail space. The article does not name which neighbourhoods should be used for the test or how long a test would run.
What still needs checking
Which neighbourhoods Jedreicich would choose for a pilot, and whether a council vote to pause the plan would be sought.
Avoid requiring new retail space in village areas beyond what tenants will fill.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 2026 article says some village areas already have retail vacancy rates as high as 15 percent, and argues that mandating more retail risks empty storefronts. The article gives no alternative figure for how much retail should be required.
What still needs checking
What rule Jedreicich would put in place of the current retail requirement.
Let village areas include laneway houses and townhouses rather than limiting new building to mixed-use blocks.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 2026 article argues that restricting development to mixed-use buildings cuts out other housing forms. It does not set a target for how many of these homes should be built.
What still needs checking
Whether Jedreicich would move a zoning change to allow these forms inside village areas.
Require evidence that parks, libraries and other local services will grow with the population before approving large plans.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 2026 article says the Villages Plan lacks evidence that amenities will match the population it invites. The article names no funding source or standard for measuring this.
What still needs checking
What test Jedreicich would apply, and who would carry out the assessment.
Address property tax increases that fall on owners whose land gains development potential they do not intend to use.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The July 2026 article raises this as a cost of the plan. It does not propose a specific tax measure, and property assessment in British Columbia is handled by BC Assessment rather than the city.
What still needs checking
What a city council could do about this, and whether Jedreicich has a specific proposal.
Vote Vancouver, the party Jedreicich is running with, says it will work with community land trusts on public land, simplify development approvals, use public land for permanently affordable middle-income homes with non-profit childcare, open faith-based sites to mixed-use redevelopment, and replace single-room occupancy buildings with supportive housing.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's published housing platform. No separate statement by Jedreicich on these items was found, and the platform page carries no numeric targets or dates.
What still needs checking
Whether Jedreicich states a position on each of these items during the campaign.

Opinion article on the Villages Plan

Keltic to redevelop $300M Metro Vancouver property
Trade coverage of the 27-acre Richmond purchase quoted Jedreicich on the phased plan and the expected timeline of about three years for approvals followed by construction in five phases.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No news outlet has reported on the Jedreicich council campaign beyond the published candidate list.

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 for the period after September 22, 2026.
