The development is now moving ahead swiftly, with the ten acre David Lam Park nearing completion, and construction well underway on the first phase of waterfront residences. More than half of the 200 acre site will be devoted to green space, while over $8 million of specially commissioned artwork will grace its tree-lined boulevards and serene environment. Concord Pacific Place is a family place, with child care centres, elementary schools and a wide range of recreational facilities including Vancouver's newest community arts centre in the historic Roundhouse. It is also Canada's first fibre optic community, linked directly to the evolving information superhighway. A special partnership with BC TELECOM puts residents "on-line" to receive new services, from home entertainment features like movies-on-demand to computerized shopping and banking services. In the last decade, our city has become North America's fastest growing metropolitan area north of the sunbelt. Its reputation as one of the most attractive and livable cities in the world is being enhanced by the intelligence of design and unparalleled beauty of Concord Pacific Place. Setting the pace for the spirit of our city into the 21st Century, Concord Pacific Place is where Vancouver is going.

THE EVOLUTION OF FALSE CREEK
The first bridge spanning False Creek was finished in 1872, creating easy access for the surrounding sawmills to transport their products into town.
In the 1890's, barrel making and shipbuilding also thrived amidst the sawmills on the water's edge.

Vancouver's ultimate waterfront neighbourhood is now taking shape along the shores of False Creek. The award-winning Concord Pacific Place is not only North America's
largest master-planned urban community, it also represents where Vancouver is going. Designed to reflect our city's traditions and approach to life, Concord Pacific Place
blends housing for 15,000 people with more than 50 acres of rolling parkland and three kilometres of seaside walkway. It is a catalyst for future development,
creating one of the most spacious and lowest density residential districts of any major city.
A shared vision for this magnificent waterfront community was confirmed through an extensive
community consultation process. The site that hosted the world for Expo 86 was to become the city's most spectacular downtown property.
Only the best goes into the planning and construction of a new Concord Pacific home.
A major land grant to the C.P.R. in 1886 helped create False Creek as we
know it today. The Roundhouse was built, Yaletown housed most of the
railway crews and other industries grew in the area.
In 1973, the Granville Island Public Market was created, a
unique urban marketplace that attracts visitors from around
the world. The building of B.C. Place Stadium, the
development of False Creek South and the Expo 86 World's
Fair transformed False Creek into Vancouver's finest
waterfront community.
Now the circle around False Creek is complete. Homes, parks, families
and boats thrive on its shores, alongside galleries, theatres, specialty
shops, restaurants, bistros and the city's two premier sporting venues, B
C Place and General Motors Place. From its humble past, False Creek has
now become the jewel in Vancouver's crown, setting the stage for our
city's future.

On a late October weekend, over 4,000 people visited the
Concord Pacific Presentation Centre on False Creek and all
139 suites in the Peninsula, the first water-front residence at
Concord Pacific Place, sold out.
The enjoyment of nature is an integral element of
Concord Pacific Place. David Lam Park, a tranquil
setting in the middle of the city, is situated on 10 acres on
the False Creek waterfront. It was dedicated in 1991 by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.
On October 25, 1994, Lieutenant- Governor David Lam planted a magnolia tree and a Davidia
tree at the official opening ceremonies. "A park is like a lung to the city," he said.
"Without strong lungs, you don't have good health." David Lam Park will be open to
the public in May.
The inspirational setting for the futuristic experience of this award-winning presentation centre has
been drawing public interest as well as the corporate community. Some recent visitors have included:
B.C. Tel, National Council for Interior Design and the Vancouver School Board.
The Roundhouse is one of False Creek's treasured historic landmarks and
will soon undergo a multi-million dollar restoration and upgrade
including a new gymnasium. Residents will enjoy the most enviable
community and arts centre in North America.
