LOCATION & NEIGHBOURHOOD

Located on the edge of Downtown Vancouver, nestled between Stanley Park and Vancouver’s Financial and Business districts, is Vancouver’s most scenic and luxurious neighbourhood – Coal Harbour. Bounded to the southeast by Burrard Street, to the southwest by West Georgia and Pender Streets, and to the northwest by Stanley Park.

The neighbourhood consists of broad range of people; from young, professional singles to upper-middle class older couples who have sold their homes and downsized to luxury condominium living in Downtown.

HISTORY & MARKET

Named after coal was discovered in the harbour in the 1860’s, Vancouver’s Coal Harbour is now home to upscale high-rise condominiums, hotels, luxury townhouses, and business towers. 
Properties in Coal Harbour are typically more expensive than other condos in Vancouver. This can be attributed to the fact that these condos are new and located in a prime area in Downtown, and many have panoramic views of Stanley Park, the North Shore Mountains, and the Burrard Inlet.
