Behind Vancouver’s River District: The High Cost of Housing Policy

Produced, filmed, and edited by Adam Naamani, that's me. Thanks for watching! Vancouver's River District is a 130-acre master-planned waterfront community along the Fraser (yes, FRAY-zer 😉) River by ‪@wesgroupproperties‬, featuring 7,000 homes, 250,000 sqft of retail, and 25 acres of parkland. It’s Vancouver’s last major waterfront development, built to be sustainable with a district energy system cutting emissions by up to 90%. Projects like River District are getting more difficult than ever to complete. Over the past decade, development fees in Vancouver have surged, resulting in delays, layoffs, and cancellations — including Wesgroup’s Ardea project. River District began as a vision to turn an old sawmill into a vibrant, walkable neighborhood, but it now reflects a bigger story about how policy, taxes, and costs are reshaping housing supply across Canada. 0:00 River District Intro 0:44 Cost of Delivery Crisis 1:14 History of East Fraser Lands Sawmill 2:17 Economics of Development Cost Charges 2:58 Cancellation of Ardea Project 3:17 Taxes and Fees on Cost of New Home 3:33 Vacant Land Taxation Proposal 3:52 Returns for Developers 4:04 Taxing Housing Like Cigarettes 4:21 Promise and Paradox of Canadian Housing Let's connect → Email me: [email protected] → Schedule a 1-on-1: https://calendly.com/adamnaamani → Join my newsletter: https://mailchi.mp/60183ad471df/signups → Blog: https://adamnaamani.com → Linkedin:   / adamnaamani   → Instagram:   / adamknaamani   Adam Naamani is a licensed real estate agent with eXp Realty. #realestate #vancouver #riverdistrict
