The Area - Coal Harbour

The “IT” locale for affluent empty nesters, Coal Harbour is one of the city’s newest master-planned communities, hugging the strip of waterfront that connects the downtown core with Stanley Park. This 50-acre parcel of land is dotted with 24 luxury high-rise towers that crowd around the neighbourhood’s best asset: a seawall with easy access to walk, run, blade or cycle into Stanley Park.
