Fairview

The name says it all. This highly concentrated mix of townhomes, low-to-mid-rise buildings and offices along the Fairview slopes boasts some of Vancouver’s best city and mountain vistas.

Stretching from the iconic cultural and culinary playground of Granville Island all the way to the posh shops of South Granville, this locale has something for everyone. Considered by many to be Vancouver’s second downtown, the commercial and institutional core West Broadway corridor runs through Fairview, employing most of the city’s health care workers at the Vancouver General Hospital complex. With plans to complete the Broadway Subway project by 2025, city council has been busy passing rezoning applications to allow more residential density in what will surely become one of Vancouver’s busiest transportation hubs. Expect to see several high-rise developments over the coming years with rapidly increasing values. For a return on investment in presale product, this area is the one to watch.
