SkyTrain Expansion Update 2026: How It Will Impact Property Prices
"Follow the rails" is the oldest real estate adage. In 2026, two major projects are reshaping the map.
Broadway Subway (Opening Soon)
Connecting VCC-Clark to Arbutus. This solidifies Kitsilano and Fairview as high-density hubs. Prices near Arbutus station are already pricing in this convenience, but the "Cambie Corridor" effect suggests they will hold value exceptionally well.
Surrey-Langley Expo Line
