Vancouver, BC, is the third largest metropolitan city in Canada and has consistently ranked as the most liveable city in the world. Located in one of the most breathtaking natural settings, Vancouver was awarded the 2010 Winter Olympic Games.

Vancouver is home to one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world. With more than 1 in 3 people of foreign decent, the city is full of cultures, lifestyles and languages. Vancouver has the largest seaport in all of North America, as well as one of the most temperate climates. The largest industries in Vancouver include travel, forestry, technology and fishing. Representing the third fastest growing metropolitan area in Canada, Vancouver will be home to more than 3 million people by the year 2020.

The skyline is very dramatic and unique. Per capita, Vancouver has the greatest number of residential real estate high-rise buildings. This is because of the amount of waterfront, mountains and borders surrounding the city. The population density of Vancouver is highest on the continent after New York and San Francisco.

Since World Expo ’86 came to town, Vancouver real estate has never been the same. With a huge influx in foreign investment, especially from Asia, Vancouver real estate has seen a boom that no other city has seen in the world. Changing from a sleepy town in the early 1980s, Vancouver has become one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world. With change also comes changes in cost of living as reflected in Vancouver real estate prices. The value of presale Vancouver real estate has exponentially increased as mortgage rates have stayed low, foreign investments have kept coming and everyone is trying to get a piece of the action.

The majority of Vancouver’s tall buildings are apartment towers and many are either in construction or in their planning stages. Real estate in Vancouver has been centered in the Downtown core ever since the 60s. The presale Vancouver model of residential real estate towers in the city core has pioneered similar projects in many of the major cities in North America. According to writer Lance Berelowitz, “Vancouver has always been a seductress, a city of desire. It is now consciously selling itself as such a global marketplace of cities. and many are buying.” Looking for Canada retirement homes and adult communities?
