Corporate Stays Expands to Langley, B.C.’s Most Resilient City
By Corporate Stays Editorial Team · Last updated September 2026 · 5 min read
Corporate Stays is expanding its furnished corporate housing footprint to Langley, British Columbia, a market that BCBusiness magazine has just named the most economically resilient city in the province for 2026. As companies and relocating professionals look beyond the Vancouver core, the city of Langley is emerging as one of the Fraser Valley’s most active corporate destinations, and Corporate Stays is bringing move-in ready, professionally managed housing to meet the increasing demand.
#1 Most Resilient City
BCBusiness named the Township of Langley British Columbia’s most economically resilient city for 2026, citing strong economic diversification, rental market balance, and population growth.
Why Langley, Why Now
Langley’s economy has diversified well beyond its agricultural roots. The Township is home to a growing screen-industry footprint anchored by locations like MacInnes Farms, whose backlot has hosted productions including When Calls the Heart, Riverdale, Fire Country, and Avatar: The Last Airbender — alongside continued strength in agritourism, manufacturing, and retail. That diversification is exactly what earned Langley its top ranking, and it’s also what’s driving a steady stream of project teams, crews, and relocating professionals into the area.
At the same time, the region is in the middle of one of B.C.’s largest infrastructure investments in a generation.
$6 billion CAD
The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain project — a 16-kilometre Expo Line extension with eight new stations, funded by $4.4B from the Province of B.C. and $1.3B from the Government of Canada, expected to enter service in late 2029.
For companies relocating employees or project teams to Langley, that transit build-out matters now, not just in 2029 — it signals a market on a clear growth trajectory, with new commercial activity following the corridor along the way.
That growth is landing on a tight housing market. In BCBusiness’s own resilience research, Langley Township’s rental vacancy rate sits at just 3.4 percent — leaving little room for companies trying to source flexible, professional housing for relocating staff on their own.
What Corporate Stays Is Bringing to Langley
This expansion isn’t just new inventory — it’s the same corporate housing model Corporate Stays has built across Canada, now extended to the Fraser Valley: fully furnished, move-in ready apartments backed by a dedicated team of housing specialists who manage the details a hotel or a private landlord simply can’t.
That team works directly with relocation coordinators and HR mobility leads to match housing to the realities of the industries actually relocating people into Langley, including:
- Employee relocation and project teams – furnished housing for staff and crews on multi-week or multi-month assignments, with flexible lease terms that scale as a project grows or winds down.
- Film and entertainment productions – housing solutions built for the scheduling realities of a production based at hubs like MacInnes Farms — fast turnaround, and the ability to house a crew, not just a single traveler.
- Insurance and relocation claims – temporary housing for policyholders and claimants who need a fully furnished home on short notice.
- Embassies, consulates, and institutional guests – housing that meets the standards and consistency these placements require.
Every stay includes what’s become the Corporate Stays standard: a fully equipped kitchen, high-speed Wi-Fi, in-suite laundry, and one consolidated invoice — a hotel-level experience delivered in an apartment setting, with billing built for corporate compliance requirements rather than nightly folios.
4,500+ apartments worldwide
Corporate Stays has provided furnished corporate housing since 2008 and now manages a global network of more than 4,500 furnished rental apartments, with Langley marking its newest Canadian market.
