How to use this map.
Each submarket has its own building stock, tenant base, loading reality, and redevelopment pressure. Mount Pleasant is not South Vancouver, and neither is Richmond. The map helps make that clear before you commit.
It is built around tenant and owner decisions, not just geography. Each zone shows the market role, pressure, best-fit users, and what to actually watch for.
