This sponsored feature takes an intimate look at real estate projects in and around Greater Vancouver, bringing you stories about the developers, the neighbourhoods and the homes themselves.

The community came out in force for a first-look at Kensington Gardens, the new master-planned community by Vancouver-based developer, Westbank. On November 23, more than 5,000 people attended this Carnival event as a first preview and grand unveiling of their new presentation centre. The Carnival, with its magic shows, hoops and silks acrobatic performances, live music performances, face painting, balloon twisting, appearances by legendary Canucks goalie Kirk McLean, Miss Chinese Pageant Contestant and local radio personalities, was an event designed to introduce the project and its commitment to the creation of a comprehensive community.

This event marked the most sensational real estate event that Vancouver has seen in almost a decade. The last project that drew this magnitude of interest was the 2006 redevelopment of Woodward’s, one of Westbank’s celebrated and visionary projects.
