After all, currently Richmond only has Steveston Village as its trendy waterfront business district which they can't really expand since there's too many heritage buildings there. Plus rich people don't want to live beside a fish market
Steveston is by far the most affluent area of Richmond, that will never change.
I don't think Steveston is the most affluent area, at least depending on how you actually defdine the borders of Steveston (lately the borders have grown quite a bit because of name appeal, but I don't think it actually translates to affluency). I would say Terra Nova or Sunnymede are more "affluent" than Steveston, Steveston is just more well known

LOL, Terra Nova, you mean the place where poverty levels of income were reported amidst the McMansions?
Haha terra nova is probably one of Richmond's richest area on average, likely because it has few condos/townhouses. There are a lot of cheap houses but it’s famous for some big mansions down some of its streets that are on huge lots that can’t be subdivided (City changed the rules so they need a little more width to be divided).
If the city allowed those lots to be divided then the mansions would disappear as they have elsewhere in Richmond.

Sunnymede is one street, how can you compare that to a whole neighborhood. Terra Nova is also much smaller but yes it is quite affluent as well

I always think of this property when I think of Terra Nova, Gibbons & Forsyth has the big 20,000+sqft lots and the North West end of River Rd. has some crazy expensive mansions hidden away. I believe the reason why most of the area around them is smaller lots is because the city changed the rules for subdividing lots so that the long lots are too skinny to split. Even if they have two houses next door that share the same sized lot.
Do you have a pic?
Don't see them in the Jan 12th pics on previous page
(I do see steel I-beams (?) or cassions)
I think I see a few of them in the last few photos. But they were all connected by a pipe running parallel to the ground. I thought they might have been used to freeze the ground at the edges.

Sunnymede is a street and neighbourhood, the area is named after that street. It was an original 'prestigious' nrighbourhood when it was first developed in the 70s and continues to be so

5,732 sq. ft. of retail space on a 29,000 sq. ft. site - that means retail space covers just 20% of the ground floor area, in one of downtown Richmond's best locations. That's nowhere hear good enough and will make for a dead urban environment if replicated in other developments.
