South Granville is the Granville Street corridor roughly between West 5th and West 16th Avenues, spanning the Fairview and Shaughnessy local areas; the South Granville Business Improvement Association district runs along Granville Street from the Granville Bridge to 16th Avenue, branded "Gallery Row" for its concentration of art galleries. It is a recognised smaller area but not one of the City's 22 distinct local areas.

South Granville real estate: your questions answered

Where is Terraces on 7th filed?

Under Fairview only — 1570 West 7th Avenue, a 55+ retirement community with a mandatory service agreement.

Why do so many South Granville "apartment buildings" never have units for sale?

Because they are purpose-built rentals held as whole assets: The Leeward is a 48-suite rental tower (1968) and Santa Monica a 13-suite rental building (1929), and the West 11th–16th / Fir–Birch district is documented as an intact pre-WWII rental apartment neighbourhood. A building name on the Heritage Register (Douglas Lodge, Crescent Court) is not evidence of strata tenure.

Can I rent out a corridor condo long-term?

Yes — rental-restriction bylaws have been unenforceable since November 24, 2022; Pintura is described in listings as rental-friendly and Landmark Sunset's directory entry says rentals allowed. Short-term rentals can still be restricted, and the Empty Homes Tax declaration applies to a unit left empty.

Is there a median South Granville condo price I can anchor to?

Price from the specific building's recent sales.

Is "South Granville" here downtown Granville Street?

The downtown entertainment corridor is a different market and none of its buildings appear here.

Is a Pintura townhouse the same purchase as a Pintura apartment?

Same development and strata family, different product: the apartments are at 1530 West 8th Avenue and the townhouses at 1576 West 8th Avenue, both built 2005 in concrete by Intracorp. Match a "Pintura" listing by address and type before comparing — and the apartment listings' "rental and pet friendly" copy does not automatically describe the townhouse component's bylaws; read the Form B.

Does the Broadway Plan mean my side-street lot is tower land?

Price the lot on the R1-1 baseline plus policy support, not on as-built tower density.

When does the subway arrive?

The Broadway Subway, including South Granville Station, is scheduled to enter service in fall 2027; until then the corridor is bus-served.

Condo buildings in South Granville

Streets, schools and transit near South Granville condos

  • South Granville is the Granville Street corridor roughly between West 5th and West 16th Avenues, spanning the Fairview and Shaughnessy local areas; the South Granville Business Improvement Association district runs along Granville Street from the Granville Bridge to 16th Avenue, branded "Gallery Row" for its concentration of art galleries. It is a recognised smaller area but not one of the City's 22 distinct local areas.
  • Where the condo stock concentrates: on the residential side streets west and east of Granville — West 6th, West 8th and West 14th Avenues between Burrard/Fir and Oak — not on the Granville Street retail frontage itself; the same side streets hold a large stock of purpose-built rental apartment buildings, which is this corridor's defining trap.
  • Landmarks: the Stanley Theatre at 2750 Granville Street (650 seats, opened 1931 as a cinema and vaudeville house; its restoration received a 1999 City of Vancouver Heritage Award), Granville Park at 3001 Fir Street, Granville Loop Park at 1435 West 5th Avenue, and Vancouver General Hospital at 899 West 12th Avenue a few blocks east.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in South Granville

  • Vancouver Empty Homes Tax (3%): the City requires every owner to submit an annual property status declaration; properties declared or deemed empty in the 2025 reference year are taxed at 3% of the property's 2025 assessed taxable value, the declaration deadline for 2025 was February 3, 2026, and the 2025 Empty Homes Tax payment was due April 16, 2026. Vancouver 2026 advance taxes were due February 3, 2026 and main taxes July 3, 2026, with a 5% penalty on unpaid balances.

Good to know about South Granville condos

  • The board's "South Granville" label reaches Kerrisdale. Listings filed under the sub-area name appear as far south as Adera Street and 6160 Granville Street — well outside the South Granville place — so a sub-area search returns a second, southern market mixed into this corridor's results.
  • Gallery Row is the BIA's own name for the strip. The South Granville Business Improvement Association represents the district from the Granville Bridge to 16th Avenue and names Bau-Xi Gallery and Uno Langmann Gallery among its Gallery Row anchors, alongside the Meinhardt Fine Foods grocery — the retail base for the side-street stock.
  • The hospital campus east of the corridor is mid-redevelopment. Vancouver General Hospital's 30-plus-year, 10-phase redevelopment includes an 11-storey emergency and inpatient building at West 10th/12th Avenues approved in July 2026 — construction disruption and growing institutional demand on the corridor's east side at the same time.

Streets, schools and transit near South Granville townhomes

  • The corridor sits inside the Broadway Plan area (Clark Drive to Vine Street, 1st to 16th Avenues; approved June 22, 2022, updated December 12, 2024), which provides for a South Granville Station area with buildings up to 30–40 storeys near the station. Citywide direction comes from the Vancouver Official Development Plan, which replaced the Vancouver Plan on March 31, 2026.
  • Transit: bus-served today, including the 99 B-Line on West Broadway; the Broadway Subway (5.7 km Millennium Line extension, six underground stations including South Granville Station) is scheduled to enter service in fall 2027.
  • Schools (SD39; Ministry-listed names only): L'École Bilingue Elementary, 1166 West 14th Avenue, is a Kindergarten-to-Grade 7 single-track French Immersion school located in the corridor. SD39 has no middle-school tier (K–7 / 8–12).
  • Landmarks: Gallery Row (the art-gallery stretch; the BIA names Bau-Xi Gallery and Uno Langmann Gallery among them), the Stanley Theatre at 2750 Granville Street (650 seats, opened 1931; restoration received a 1999 City of Vancouver Heritage Award), Granville Park at 3001 Fir Street, Granville Loop Park at 1435 West 5th Avenue, and Vancouver General Hospital at 899 West 12th Avenue a few blocks east.

Lots and land in South Granville

What trades here

  • The housing profile in agrees with the land home — low-rise and mid-rise condo and rental apartment buildings line Granville Street and Broadway, with detached houses and character homes (many converted or suited) on the quieter side streets of Fairview and the upper Shaughnessy edges, on standard west-side lots; detached lots are freehold, corridor condos and townhouses are strata, and a large share of the Granville/Broadway apartment buildings are purpose-built rental (not strata at all).
  • Development-site frame — documented in the land home, cross-referenced here: the corridor's land value story is plan policy — the Broadway Plan provides for a South Granville station area with buildings up to 30–40 storeys near the future South Granville Station — and institutional assembly at the VGH campus, whose 30-plus-year redevelopment is planned in 10 phases with buildings up to 24 storeys, with an interim CD-1 (59) amendment approved July 14, 2026 permitting an 11-storey emergency and inpatient care building at 818–990 West 10th Avenue / 803–899 West 12th Avenue. Both are documented as development policy/sites, never as lot inventory.
  • Count-once reminders (never land): Both are built strata product, not land.

Streets, schools and transit near South Granville lots

  • South Granville is the City of Vancouver's Granville Street corridor roughly between West 5th and West 16th Avenues, spanning the Fairview and Shaughnessy local areas; the board sub-area name is "South Granville," with nearby areas Fairview, Shaughnessy, Kitsilano (across the Granville Bridge side via Broadway), Arbutus Ridge, Douglas Park, and downtown Vancouver across False Creek. Alternate names: "South Granville Rise," "Gallery Row" (the art gallery stretch), and "Fairview Slopes" (the residential slopes east of Granville).
  • The South Granville Business Improvement Association represents the commercial district along Granville Street from the Granville Bridge to 16th Avenue; the strip is branded "Gallery Row" for its concentration of art galleries, alongside fashion and home-décor shops and the Meinhardt Fine Foods grocery.
  • Culture and health anchors: the Stanley Theatre (2750 Granville Street at 12th Avenue) is a 650-seat performing-arts venue in an art deco building that opened in 1931; Vancouver General Hospital (899 West 12th Avenue) sits a few blocks east of the corridor and is BC's referral centre for many provincial programs.
  • Parks: Granville Park (3001 Fir Street) is the corridor's main neighbourhood park, and Granville Loop Park (1435 West 5th Avenue) sits at the corridor's north end by the Granville Bridge.
  • Schools: public schools are run by the Vancouver School Board (SD39); L'École Bilingue Elementary (1166 West 14th Avenue) is a K–7 single-track French Immersion school placed by the VSB's schools-by-neighbourhood list in Fairview.
  • Transit position: the Broadway Subway — the 5.7 km Millennium Line extension with six new underground stations including South Granville Station — is scheduled to enter service in fall 2027; until it opens, the corridor is bus-served, including the 99 B-Line along Broadway.

Local rules that affect land buyers in South Granville

  • Plan framework — Broadway Plan: Council approved the Broadway Plan on June 22, 2022 — a 30-year framework for the area between Clark Drive and Vine Street and 1st to 16th Avenues, integrating housing, jobs and amenities with the Broadway Subway — with updates approved December 12, 2024 alongside the Broadway Public Realm and Streetscape Plan and the Civic District Plan. The plan provides for a South Granville station area with buildings up to 30–40 storeys near the station. It is a policy framework: most higher-density forms still require rezoning — do not price a lot as if the tower density were already zoned.
  • Zoning / SSMUH — R1-1 multiplex district (By-law No. 13817): the Zoning and Development By-law No. 3575 was amended to replace the old RS districts with R1-1, allowing up to 6 strata units (or 8 secured rental units) on former single-family lots, subject to the district schedule's site standards; heritage-designated and First Shaughnessy properties carry additional rules, and a heritage or character-home retention incentive may apply — confirm before marketing "development potential."
  • Heritage fabric on the corridor: the corridor's South Granville apartment district holds heritage apartment buildings listed on the City of Vancouver Heritage Register at the Granville Street corners — Douglas Lodge (1507–1509 West 12th Avenue, also listed as 2799 Granville Street) and Crescent Court (1504–1512 West 14th Avenue, also listed as 3003–3007 Granville Street) — with Canterbury (1390 West 14th Avenue) also register-listed a block east of Granville. Register status belongs in any frontage-parcel diligence.
  • Renter-protection frame for rental-land purchases: purpose-built rental buildings on the corridor carry tenant-relocation implications under the Broadway Plan's renter protections — verify current tenant status and the plan's protections before an investor purchase of a rental landholding.
  • If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.
  • Empty Homes Tax — Vancouver only: 3% of the property's assessed taxable value on homes declared or deemed vacant (2025 reference year; payment due April 16, 2026). It applies in South Granville — a held-empty house-lot is the land-buyer exposure.

Good to know about South Granville lots

  • The hospital is a land-use actor, not just an amenity: the VGH campus east of the corridor is in a 30-plus-year, 10-phase redevelopment (buildings up to 24 storeys), with an 11-storey emergency and inpatient care building approved July 14, 2026 — both construction disruption and growing institutional demand on the corridor's east side.
  • The theatre is the corridor's landmark parcel: the Stanley Theatre (2750 Granville Street, opened 1931 as a cinema and vaudeville house, restored with a 1999 City of Vancouver Heritage Award) anchors the Gallery Row retail strip the BIA runs from the Granville Bridge to 16th Avenue.
