One of West Vancouver’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, British Properties, more commonly known as ‘The Properties’, was purchased by A.R. Guinness-Br. Pacific Properties in 1932 and helped finance the construction of the Lions Gate Bridge in 1938. Now an exclusive community available only to Vancouver’s most affluent, residents can enjoy all its luxuries, from easy access to private schools, to hiking trails that stretch for miles.
