Olympic Village Area Under Construction

False Creek South is a vibrant waterfront community that is a testament to progressive urban planning. Spanning 80 acres of leased city-owned lands within the unceded traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations, this area has evolved from an industrial zone into a thriving medium-density neighborhood. Since the late 20th century, it has set a standard for urban development, blending mixed-income housing with parks, open spaces, public walkways, and community facilities that foster a strong sense of connection and sustainability.

What makes False Creek South truly unique is its commitment to green living and accessibility. The community is designed around efficient energy solutions and high-performance green buildings, all while offering easy access to public transit. With a total population ranging from 11,000 to 13,000 people, Southeast False Creek, with the 2010 Olympic Village at its heart, is a model of urban living where everything you need is just a short walk away. As a complete neighborhood, it offers a balance of residential housing, goods and services, and jobs conveniently accessible by foot or transit.
