   
Welcome to Coal Harbour - an exciting new waterfront neighbourhood on the northern edge
of the West End. Best defined as everything north of Georgia St from Canada Place to
Stanley Park, much of this newly planned community is still under construction. Take a
long walk along the seawall and you'll soon understand the appeal of this location.
Nearly every building in the area enjoys views across the marina, Coal Harbour itself,
Stanley Park and to the Northshore mountains beyond. This will be, without doubt, the
most upscale of all Vancouver's "new" communities.
High-rise luxury living is the order of the day in Coal Harbour - waterfront resort-style
communities built to appeal to both the off shore investor and local empty nesters selling
out of single family homes and returning to the heart of the city. For the first time buyer,
the nearby Georgia St corridor provides more affordable opportunities off the water but still
in state of the art new complexes.
