FOR A DETAILED PROJECT PROFILE OF THE SUSTAINABLE MILLENNIUM WATER FALSE CREEK VANCOUVER REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT, PLEASE CLICK HERE.The challenge of designing for the Olympics and beyond. Millennium Water – Sixteen buildings make up this high-profile real estate development in Vancouver, planned first to house athletes for the 2010 Olympics ad later to become a model sustainable community of 1,100 residential units.
Published in the Westcoast Homes & Design – September 2007 and posted here to promote this magnificent Vancouver pre-construction real estate development and the sales launch soon to come.
“Millennium Water is the place to be,” says Barry Scott, partner of Maynards Auctioneers, observing the bustle of construction on the southeast sector of False Creek form his office window on West Second Avenue. Scott, who was born and raised in the neighbourhood – at Seventh and Columbia- knows the area as well as an auctioneering block. “as kids we used to pay in the water in False Creek. It was all industrial,” he recalls.
In two years, the area known as Southeast False Creek will become the Vancouver Olympic Athlete’s Village, providing accommodation for 2,800 Olympic athletes, coaches, officials before being converted into a model sustainable community called Millennium water in Vancouver.
“The rest of the world is looking at what Vancouver’s doing here,” says Scott. “The whole space between the bridge and Science World, from Second Avenue to the water – it’s amazing what’g going on. It’s the quality of what’s being built there and the balance of what’s on the site – a school, community centre, parks, amenities. Thee’ll be limited traffic, lots of bike routes, walking paths, and an electric tram in Millennium Water. It’s all really designed for people.
“You could live in the area without a car. You can easily get to sports or cultural events, art galleries or restaurants by a boat ride across False Creek or walk around the seawall.
Millennium Water, situated on the last remaining tract of undeveloped waterfront land near downtown Vancouver, includes approximately 25 acres of former industrial land once used for sawmills, foundries, shipbuilding, metalworking and salt distribution. In fact, the heritage building, the Domtar Saltbox, has been shored up and designated for public use on the site.
When completed, the Millennium Water neighbourhood will comprise of approximately 1,100 residential units – 730 condominiums and townhomes, 120 Millennium Water units of modest market housing and 250 units of affordable housing. It will establish a new standard for sustainable development in North America, with green buildings that use less energy, are based on renewable resources and help protect against the environment. For example, the area will be heated by waste thermal energy from filtered wastewater. Fifty per cent of the roofs will be green.
Millennium Water is developed by Millennium Southeast False Creek Properties Ltd., part of the Millennium Group of Companies, selected by the City of Vancouver to develop this real estate project property.
Sixteen residential buildings will make up Millennium Water with the flagship designed by renowned Vancouver Architect Arthur Erickson. His plan includes two gently curving crescents that face each other across a public garden of waterfalls and ponds.
Architectural firms involved in the real estate development include Merrick Architecture, Comberoff Bell Lyon Architects, Arthur Erickson/Nick Milkovich Architects, Inc. Walter Francl Architect and Lawrence Doyle Young and Wright Architects.
According to Trish de la Paz, marketing project manager at Rennie Marketing, there has alreadybeen a lot of interest in Millennium Water. “Our challenge and our goal is that we consider all the environmental aspects at the site while at the same time creating a luxurious product for the real estate market and a lasting legacy for the community.”
Construction of Millennium Water will continue up to and beyond the Olympic Games. “We hosted Expo ’86 and that’s when we handed out our business card to the world… and the world kept it. I don’t think we, as Vancouverites, understand the potential impact of what is likely going to be the single largest Vancouver world positioning event of our lifetime,” says Bob Rennie, principal of REnnie Marketing Systems.

Yesterday and Tuesday, those involved with the development were given first crack at 100 of the 302 units that will be sold to the public in the first phase of the property development known as Millennium Water False Creek.
By yesterday afternoon about 55 people waited in a lineup that stretched for about half a block outside the real estate project’s presentation centre in the 200 Block of West First Avenue. Most, like Shin, who is among 10 who have been in line since Saturday- were being paid by realtors to hold a place in line. He refused to say how much he was being paid.
“It’s not really tough,” said the 23 year old BCIT student, looking tired and unshaven. “I’m used to doing a couple of hours or the day before. It’s the first time I’ve done five days.”

Are you looking for a place to stay when the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics roll around? Well, it’s just months away, and now is the time to start looking for furnished 2010 Olympic rentals. Whether you’re looking for rental apartments or furnished townhomes or waterfront or riverside living spaces, there are certainly a lot of 2010 furnished accommodations to choose from. The Vancouver 2010 furnished rentals comes in all shapes, sizes and locations, so finding the ideal fit for you and your friends/family is of utmost importance. So how do you figure out what kind of Vancouver 2010 furnished rental you should look for? Here at Vancouver Real Estate Direct, we are here to help you sort through all the information on the internet blasting you with ads and reasons why you should choose them as your Vancouver 2010 furnished rentals condos and apartment accommodations. The rent 2010 Vancouver Olympic furnished rentals are everywhere, so in order to know where and what to look for, you must first understand a few important things about the real estate marketplace and protect yourself when it comes to booking your furnished 2010 rental condos, apartments, homes and alternative accommodations. Vancouver is a big city with lots of accommodation for rent during the 2010 Winter Olympics, so by going through the steps outlined below, you will not only choose the right furnished Olympic rental home or apartment, but also protect yourself from fraud and fraudulent Vancouver 2010 rental ads and websites. The key here is that you can sleep soundly after booking your 2010 furnished rentals and not have to worry about fraudulent landlords or other problems that may be lurking in a few months time. If you are looking to travel to Vancouver-Whistler during the rent 2010 Olympic Winter Games, now is the time to start looking for the best deals for 2010 furnished rentals and apartments, condos, and homes for rent for 2010 Olympics. We recommend that you read through this article in order to decide where you want to be during the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, what kind of furnished rental accommodations you’re interested in and also, where and how to book securely so that your Vancouver 2010 furnished rentals booking goes smoothly.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both scenarios when it comes to deciding on which Vancouver Olympic 2010 rental accommodation to choose between. There are numerous online websites for rent 2010 Rentals right now and they seem to be blossoming as we approach the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games. So, as a person or party looking to rent a 2010 furnished suite in Vancouver, which accommodation listings should you look at? Renting from an individual who has put their apartment or home for rent for the 2010 Olympics is an option. By choosing a rent Vancouver 2010 furnished rental from an individual, you may be getting a better deal for the same unit as there are no overhead charges for the home owner. In addition, individual homeowners are more personable and less business oriented, allowing you, as a visitor, to truly experience who and what a Vancouverite is. There may be more room for negotiations on pricing for furnished 2010 Vancouver rental apartments, suites and homes from individual homeowners too and it is a direct negotiation with no third party property management company involved in the working of the deal. Some of the drawbacks of renting a furnished 2010 suite for the Vancouver Olympic Winter Games is that you may not know what you’re getting unless you are willing to fly to Vancouver prior to the Olympics to see the specific suite for rent. The furnished accommodations for rent 2010 Winter Olympics may be entirely different from what you envisioned. In addition, there are some problems with 2010 rental scams and fraud related furnished 2010 rental apartment listings online. Many individuals will ask for a larger deposit as well.
If you are looking for a professionally managed 2010 furnished rental apartment or home, everything should be smooth. A professional rent 2010 Olympic rental management company is one that markets and rents out other home owner suites and accommodations during the Vancouver Winter Olympics on behalf of the homeowner and they take a certain percentage commission from the profit. The advantages of dealing with a professional 2010 Rental Management Company is that you have more rent 2010 furnished rentals homes and apartments to choose from (as they usually manage multiple properties) and everything is written and legally bounded by documentation. In addition, you can be assured that what you book in terms of a 2010 Vancouver furnished rental is what you get, as their reputation as a professional 2010 rental management company is on the line as well … well into the future too. Many 2010 property management companies have online websites where you can browse through all the unfurnished as well as furnished 2010 rental accommodation apartments, condos, townhomes and homes. There, you will also find all sorts of location information (including maps), amenities on site, local conveniences, 2010 Winter Olympic Venues, transportation guides/routes, community details as well as possibly even incentives on Olympic tickets. Also, most 2010 Olympic rental management companies allow booking of 2010 furnished rentals homes and apartments online. You can possibly pay the Olympic 2010 management company by credit card, which again, protects you from rent 2010 rental scams and frauds online (if you have that protection on your card). Lastly, if you opt the professional route, you can also be assured that the furnished suite at you’re renting for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver are absolutely clean and perfect when you move in for the duration of your stay.
