The 2010 Olympic Winter Games were solid gold for a Vancouver-based real estate developer specializing in luxury suites.

Aspac Developments says it sold $31.8 million in high-end units to people visiting Vancouver for the two-week duration of the Games.

The penthouse at Three Harbour Green alone, within spitting distance to the International Broadcast Centre and nestled on the shores of Coal Harbour, sold for $22.3 million.

All seven suites, including several at the Wesbrook at the University of British Columbia, fetched $46.76 million.

A spokesperson for the developer said the warm weather helped showcase Vancouver's natural beauty and showcase it to the world.

"The Games brought an international flair and level of excitement to our city that, coupled with everything else we have to offer, made Vancouver extremely attractive," said George Wong.
