Via the Real Estate Channel, we came across this interesting video about the current changes that are occurring in the Gastown area.
Yes, it's a piece of real estate industry marketing, but it's admittedly well-produced.
Rather than overplaying their hand, Concord Pacific has done a pretty good job of capturing (okay, 're-packaging') the Gastown neighbourhood.
The short version - Gastown is fast-becoming a shopping destination, with plenty of design stores, galleries and trendy restaurants, set in one of Vancouver's most historical districts.
The video's so good, it almost worked on us.
At the very least, we now expect to see droves of Yaletown residents packing up their BMWs and moving to Gastown over the next few years.
More about new construction in the neighbourhood later this week.


Its refreshing to see urban development from the ground perspective; that being the residents and business owners in the area.
Without a doubt Gastown is a hot commodity in the Real Estate industry and as it continues to develop and tidy itself up i'm sure we will continue to see passionate residents waving the flag for their community.
Good for them!
