A proposed North Vancouver Condo Development is looking to use geothermal energy. This is something that is relatively new in residential construction and comes with an initial cost, but long run there are considerable cost savings and environmental savings.
There is one other building I am aware of in Burnaby that uses the same technology. Verdant, [...]

Well just another sign that the market is changing, Wall Financial has decided to cancel the development of condos on its False Creek site and instead move ahead with plans for a rental building instead.
They feel that there are enough condos currently to handle to demand out there, so they will add to the rental [...]

Well this really is not a surprise, but it is just something that we have not really seen much of before. A couple in North Vancouver is now involved in a Lawsuit with a developer for not completing on a pre-sale contract. The Developer is going after 7 in total right now. Read full details [...]

Looks like time is running out for Millennium to get its act together in Nanaimo to start the hotel complex beside the new convention centre. City may pull the project form Millennium if they don’t meet looming deadlines.

I find it interesting in the Georgia Straight article [...]
