A Nod to the Past – 1859

For more than 125 years, the Brewery District site has held a unique place in the history of New Westminster and British Columbia.

Today, Wesgroup’s vision to create a vibrant, complete community in Sapperton has come to life. Brewery District honours the history and legacy of the site, weaving stories from its past into one collective community memory for its future.

The Kearys of
The Keary

One of those Sappers, Royal Engineer James Keary and his family arrived in New Westminster. The Kearys then opened The Telegraph Hotel, run by James’ wife Maria after his death. Their son William later became Mayor of New Westminster and Honourary Secretary of the General Hospital, now known as Royal Columbian Hospital. Keary Street and now, The Keary, continue to honour the family name.

1897

City Brewery is purchased by Nels Nelson, who merges the two breweries to operate under the name Westminster Brewery and relocates to Brunette Avenue. Stories of Nelson using his beer to extinguish the Great Fire inspired the names of today’s Nelson’s Court and Nelson’s Crescent in Brewery District.

1926

Nelson sells the Westminster Brewery to Coast Breweries Ltd.

1958

John Labatt Ltd purchases the brewery and produces Lucky Lager and other contract beers for the next 47 years.

2005

Labatt sells the property to Wesgroup and Labatt Brewery closes, ending over a century of brewing history.

2010

New Westminster City Council approves the development permit for the first building of the master-planned community that is now known as Brewery District.

2021

The Keary marks the final residential tower of the revitalized Brewery District.
