Ya the city pushes for water features as it helps neutralize the traffic noise. It's actually a pretty cool policy as it works pretty well.

Ya a bit of what excel said plus it's intentionally zoned to be a quieter part of the city with much less retail and restaurants.

Yup. Owned by the crown prince of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed something or other.
A cool $55 million several years ago, worth a lot more than that now.
The sub penthouse was listed earlier this year for a scant $38 million if anyone is looking to dip into the Vancouver market.
At least it's not all Chinese money??
