Richmond Richmond is a culturally diverse and geographically unique community centrally located on Canada's West Coast, in Greater Vancouver, 20 minutes from Downtown Vancouver, and 25 minutes from the US border.

Vancouver International Airport Vancouver International Airport is one of B.C. s most important generators of employment accounting for more than 26,000 jobs and $5.2 billion in annual economic impact. Over the past nine years, the number of jobs at the airport has almost doubled, in part because of Vancouver s expanded role as a Pacific gateway to the rest of North America, and the Open Skies policy which connects Vancouver to a growing number of American destinations. According to the 2000 Impact Report there are currently over 400 businesses that operate on Sea Island. The 2000 Impact Report also brought out that the airport generates $ billion annually in wages and jobs average $44,000 per year, 26% higher than the provincial average. According to Vancouver International Airport officials the number of travelers using the airport during 2005 exceeded 6.4 million travelers marking a return to the pre-9/ air-travel numbers. The increase in number of travelers during 2005 has resulted in Richmond hotels experiencing double-digit increases in number of travelers. The Vancouver International Airport is undertaking a $.0 billion capital program to ensure YVR meets the growing demands for air travel, and continues developing the airport as a premier global gateway and economic generator for British Columbia. The program s projects are designed to accommodate the 2 million passengers projected at YVR by 200, as well as handle the newer, larger aircraft of the future. Canada Line 4 The subject property will enjoy the benefits of the future Canada Line which will link the subject location with central Richmond, the Vancouver International Airport, and Vancouver along the Cambie corridor to central Broadway, the downtown Business District and the emerging transportation hub at Waterfront Station. It is reported that the Bridgeport Canada Line station is to be located just to the north of the subject property. The subject location will greatly benefit from the daily traffic of commuters passing by the site walking to and from the Skytrain Station. The Canada Line is a significant element in the Greater Vancouver's regional transportation network providing much-needed access between dense and growing residential areas and key employment, commercial, hospital and institutional centres. The line will be 9.5 km long with 8 stations, and will improve existing rapid transit service. About 500,000 people travel daily between downtown Vancouver, central Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport along Main, Cambie, Oak and Granville streets. On a typical weekday, 288,000 vehicles and 9,000 transit riders travel back and forth. Travel time along these routes has increased by 20 to 60 percent since 988. In the next 20 years, a 35 percent increase in trips to, from and within downtown Vancouver is expected. About 26,000 people now work on Sea Island at the Airport, a number that is expected to climb to 40,000 by 202. Employment in downtown Vancouver and Richmond is expected to increase by 23 percent and 0 percent, respectively, by 202 The elevated Canada Line will run along the east edge of the subject property and there will be two columns (one situated close to Bridgeport Road and the other situated close to No. 3 Road) supporting the elevated guideway on the subject property. The subject property will have excellent visibility from the elevated Canada Line. The City of Richmond would like to see vibrant retail villages around each Canada Line station. The Olympic Oval and Canada Line will welcome the world to the City or Richmond.
Population With a population of over 82,500 people, Richmond is a growing dynamic urban centre with a unique mix of residential, commercial property, agricultural lands, industrial parks, waterways and natural areas. Richmond has undergone enormous change over the last several decades, with significant growth in the early 990's. Today, Richmond is a dynamic, multi-ethnic community. Much of the recent population growth has been made up of Asian immigrants. People of Chinese or South Asian ancestry now represent nearly sixty percent of Richmond residents. Newcomers have contributed significantly to the growth of the small business and retail sectors and have added to the diversity and vibrancy of the City of Richmond. The city s population of 82,500 is estimated to grow to 22,000 by 202, and most newcomers will call north Richmond and city centre their home. Employment and Industry Richmond's economy supports over 00,000 jobs in various sectors including services, retailing, tourism, technology industries, light manufacturing, airport services and aviation, agriculture, fishing and government. In recent years, Richmond has been emerging as a leading centre for high tech industries. More specifically, the subject Gateway District (West Bridgeport Planning Area) is intended to consist of large scale entertainment, institutional, retail, business park development and tourist accommodation. Recent developments include the RiverRock Casino waterfront development, Rona Home Improvements, Costco and several new hotels. All of these recent developments have created hundreds of jobs and have led to the vibrancy of the surrounding retail businesses. Future Richmond Economic Trends The major economic development in British Columbia and the Lower Mainland will be the 200 Olympic Games of which will generate about $0 billion in direct and indirect economic activities between now to 202. Much of these activities will take place in Richmond, B.C. A major economic development in Richmond is the Great Canadian Casino project that has converted the 8 acre BridgePoint Market into a Vegas style casino with fine dining, entertainment and gambling all under one roof. Since the River Rock Casino opened in late June 2004, the casino has been a driving force for business, tourism and employment for Richmond. An average of 5,000 people per day visit the casino and it s likely that the casino will continue to attract more people as a 400 seat buffet will open soon. The casino will also eventually boast the largest sports bar in a Canadian casino. A hotel is slated to open in early 2006, while several restaurants, including Chinese and Italian, as well as a waterfront seafood and steak eatery, are also in the works. The Olympic Oval is currently under construction and is located immediately east of the No. 2 Bridge along the Fraser River waterfront. The $8 million Oval project and $5.3 million public arts plan will be the catalyst for the development of a premier riverfront community and international destination that will provide a focal point for sport, recreation, wellness and community celebration. After the Games the Oval could house two hockey rinks, summer sporting events, and trade shows. 5
