About False Creek North
False Creek North runs along the north shore of False Creek, the waterfront between Yaletown and the Granville Bridge developed largely on the former Expo 86 lands by Concord Pacific. It is a planned community of glass towers and townhomes wrapped around an unbroken seawall - a flat, paved walking and cycling path that circles the inlet past George Wainborn and David Lam parks, the marina, and the Aquabus ferries to Granville Island. The setting balances water and city: Sunset Beach and English Bay sit at the western end by the Burrard Bridge, Yaletown's restaurants and the downtown core are a short walk east, and BC Place and Rogers Arena anchor the eastern edge. Daily life is walkable and green, with the seawall as the neighbourhood's front yard and Urban Fare and Yaletown's shops close by, and the Yaletown-Roundhouse Canada Line station links downtown and the airport.
