A booming neighbourhood, approximately 28,000 people live in the South Granville area.
Established in 1907, at the height of Vancouver’s carriage trade days, South Granville remains a vibrant retail shopping district.
Businesses in this BIA offer high-quality fashion, home décor, acclaimed art galleries, dining and live entertainment, against a stunning backdrop of the North Shore mountains.
The arrival of the Canada Line to Cambie Street, a few blocks to the east, led to a reduction in intercity traffic helping to redefine the BIA throughout this decade.
Still easily accessible, the BIA now offers a more relaxed, local vibe and pleasant walking experience.
