Overview
The Cambie Corridor stretches 6 km along Cambie Street from downtown's edge south to the Fraser River at Marine Drive. Defined by the Canada Line beneath it, this corridor is the blueprint for Vancouver's evolution into a denser, more connected city.
Five station areas (Broadway-City Hall, King Edward, Oakridge-41st, Langara-49th, Marine Drive) each have distinct character and real estate profiles. The northern end near Broadway is urban and dense with restaurants, shops, and offices. Moving south, streets grow quieter before reaching the mixed-use Marine Gateway hub.
Since the Canada Line opened in 2009, billions in development have reshaped block after block with condos, townhomes, rentals, retail, and community spaces. For buyers and investors, the corridor is one of Metro Vancouver's most compelling long-term plays.
