YALETOWN INFORMATION!

Yaletown was a warehouse district as late as the 1980s, having been established in 1886 when Canadian Pacific Railway moved its maintenance yards from the town of Yale to Vancouver.

The area became trendy in the late 1980s, and the warehouses now serve as fashionable restaurants, boutiques, cafes, and apartments for the artsy types who make the area their home. Vancouver real estate has taken off in this area. The Multiple Listings (MLS) in Yaletown are extreamly high as these trendy areas are always in demand for buying and selling Vancouver Condos. There is a considerable amount of building going on - old warehouses are being converted and new apartment towers are being built here and on the adjoining Expo lands. Yaletown, although not large, is a pleasant area to stroll around on a sunny day. Yaletown real estate has boomed in the recent years with Concord Pacific building a number of high rise apartments throughout the area. Brian Ross of TRG Downtown Realty specializes in Yaletown condo sales. You can contact Brian Ross at TRG Downtown Realty at 604-720-7134 for up to date information on Yaletown and condominiums for sale.
