Later the next day
January 11th, 2024 — What a difference a day makes. Above is the rear of 3781 West 18th Avenue on Thursday and below is the front of the house on Wednesday.
What a waste
October 14th, 2023 — This house at 4522 North West Marine Drive is being demolished so a new, probably much bigger house, can be built in its place. It was built in 1995 and sold for $4.5 million in October of 2021. The most recent assessment had the house itself valued at $455,000. That’s a lot of money for rubble.
4 million
September 6th, 2023 — This house in the 600 block West 28th Avenue sold recently for about $4 million and will be demolished as part of a land assembly and replaced with 12 garden homes.
Moving
August 1st, 2023 — Moving Henry Hudson School along Cornwall Street to Kits Beach where it will be put on a barge and taken to North Vancouver.
Senakw
March 11th, 2023 — Construction of the Senakw condo development begins on the southwest side of the Burrard Bridge.
Cedar tree gone
February 25th, 2023 — House demolished and a large cedar tree felled in the 3500 block of West 27th Avenue.
Today, yesterday
January 23rd,2023 — House in the 2700 block of West 7th Avenue being demolished this afternoon. Below is what the house looked like in the summer of last year.
The irony
November 4th, 2022 — This house in the 3500 block of West 26th Avenue was demolished today. Below is what it looked like a month ago. It will be replaced by a larger home with three suites and maybe a laneway house. The irony is that this block was recently rezoned for six story apartments so the new house will certainly be demolished again, possibly in less than a decade.
Flattened
March 27th, 2016 — Pine Street at 6th Avenue.
