these parcels of land by themselves are better investments than developing them.

The last time we sat on downtown land instead of taking an offer, it became even less affordable. Might as well put it to use now.

City of Vancouver still intends to demolish Dunsmuir and Georgia viaducts

Before the viaducts demolition work can proceed, the first package is to rebuild and merge Pacific Boulevard and Expo Boulevard, with Pacific Boulevard between Pat Quinn Way and Expo Boulevard becoming a two-way street. This first package work is expected to begin “in the next few years.”

The larger second package starting in 2027 at the earliest includes a new four-lane vehicle ramp for West Georgia Street between Beatty Street and the reconfigured Pacific Boulevard — situated between BC Place Stadium and Rogers Arena. This second package also includes the 750 km long Dunsmuir Connection elevated pathway for pedestrians and cyclists from Beatty Street to Quebec Street and rebuilding Pacific Boulevard between Pat Quinn Way and Quebec Street as a two-way street.

But this entirely depends on the incoming flow of the area’s development-generated revenues, which will fund the demolition of the viaducts, the area’s new road network, major new public spaces and various other public benefits. So far, apart from the Plaza of Nations redevelopment, there is very little movement by the property owners to advance their projects, according to city staff. The first package will be funded by Canadian Metropolitan Properties’ contributions from the Plaza of Nations project.
