Real Estate Gold Rush Along West Broadway

[whatnext]

Not surprising, I'll be sad when the IHOP goes.
I hope the city actually does some beautification planning for Broadway and not leave it to happen on a piecemeal basis. The least attractive major street running through the city.

The building at 950 West Broadway in Vancouver is unremarkable, a two-storey concrete structure that is home to an IHOP, a Japanese restaurant and an insurance broker, among other things.

But it sold last May for a phenomenal $46-million, according to B.C. Assessment Authority records, even though it had been assessed at just $18-million. It was the latest record-breaking sale in what has been a year of high-water marks for commercial properties along Broadway...

I agree with needed a proper community plan for Broadway, but... IHOP? Seriously, it's the same bed & breakfast food as every Denny's or Best Western in existence.

There's nothing wrong with either IHOP and Denny's. The first one has tasty pancakes and the latter offer good breakfast. Denny's especially has spent quite a lot of money in renovating their restaurants around BC and the new looks is very refreshing, actually.

The French Toast at iHOP is the best, the rest of the food is hit or miss. I find Denny's is generally disappointing and quite greasy IMO.

both beat coras.

broadway could use some densification.

I hate coras.

Dennys is good, Ihop has good pancakes. Both are good cheap food, something we don't have much of anymore in Vancouver.
