Future Development & Long Term Outlook

The Broadway Subway extension and City of Vancouver's Broadway Plan will add new housing, jobs and amenities along the Broadway corridor over the next decade. Many of the larger new projects near Kitsilano are focused on secured rental housing rather than strata condos, which keeps ownership opportunities limited and supports the value of existing condos.

Expect more activity, shops and public spaces around Broadway and Arbutus as new rental towers, a public plaza and community spaces are completed. Beach blocks and quieter residential streets closer to the water are expected to maintain their low rise character, which continues to be a key draw for many condo buyers in Kitsilano.
