The Cafe With A Studio Attached

H&A Art Caffe soft opened in mid-September at 120-8160 Park Road in Richmond, two blocks from CF Richmond Centre. Founders Hamlet Hovakimyan and Arega Grigoryan are fine artists and art educators who studied together in Armenia.

Per Noms, Hamlet has taught fine art for more than 10 years and Arega represented Armenia at the Vancouver International Art Fair in 2023. The baklava is made fresh by a friend of the owner in North Vancouver - blueberry ube at $4.88 each or 2 for $8 - and Noms reports it's sugar-free. The house special is the Ararat Latte. For context, Ararat is the mountain on Armenia's coat of arms.

The part I'd watch is the unit next door. The studio and gallery runs classes for kids from 4 up to adults, plus art and w**e nights and team-building sessions, and its site says new students get their first 2 hours free.

The cafe's site says it welcomes musicians for live performances, and other artists will soon be able to hang their work. Add an 11pm close, which Noms calls rare for Richmond, and one corner is doing 3 jobs - cafe, classroom, gallery.

My read: a late spot that isn't a bar is the kind of thing that makes a city centre feel lived in. And as a trained actor, I've got a soft spot for artists who build their own room.

The Math Stayed Private

The Supreme Court of BC has dismissed the Cambie Corridor Neighbourhood Association's challenge to 229 rental homes at West 29th and Ash. Council approved the rezoning unanimously in July 2025 and the development permit was issued that December.

The judge found the process fair, noted the City's transit-oriented rezoning policy doesn't legally bind council, and ordered the association to pay costs to the City and Sightline Properties.

Two takeaways if you own or buy near a station. First, the pro forma stayed private. The court accepted that the developer's cost and revenue projections were commercially sensitive, and that in this case the City didn't have to release them for the hearing to be fair.

Residents got the staff report 7 weeks ahead - the conclusion, not the spreadsheet. Second, watch the tenure flip. This block was permitted for 46 townhomes at $2M to $2.3M, got no presales, and came back as roughly 5 times as many rentals.

No below-market homes and no community amenity contribution, but about $5.8M in development cost levies and roughly $300K for public art.

Which Ballot Moves Your Street

BC votes municipally on Oct 17 and provincially on Oct 24. Zoning and development approvals sit largely with cities. The province delegated those powers, can require a city to change its zoning, and has done so in recent years.

Where the campaigns stand, per the reporting. The BC NDP has promised an unsold condo tax and a higher speculation and vacancy tax, saying they'd push developers to lower asking prices and owners of vacant homes to find long-term tenants.

Conservative Leader Lorne Doerkson says taxes and red tape are why homes cost too much, and that his party would cut construction costs so more get built. In Vancouver, nearly all the major municipal parties have housing promises - faster approvals, permanently affordable homes, protection for affordable rentals.

UBC's Stewart Prest frames one city debate as whether more density brings prices down at all. A simple way to sort it: what gets built near you is mostly Oct 17, and the housing taxes being argued about are Oct 24.

One piece of context the coverage skips - your annual property tax rate is set by city council, so that one's Oct 17 too.

I work in real estate, so I have a stake in housing policy. I'm laying out who controls what, not who to vote for.

Vancouver September Market Update.

Greater Vancouver Realtors reported 1,717 sales in September - down 8.4% from a year ago and 25% below the 10-year seasonal average. The composite benchmark sits at $1,075,900, down 5.5% year over year and 0.6% from August.

The board's chief economist, Andrew Lis, says detached and attached sales were slightly above last year - the decline came from apartments.

Here's the part worth planning around. New listings were 5,852, down 10.3% from last September but still 5.7% above the 10-year average. Total inventory is 16,394, which is 24.3% above the long-term norm.

My math, not the board's: that's roughly 10.5 sales for every 100 active listings. For context, the board has long said prices tend to soften when that ratio stays below 12%.

So buyers still hold the leverage overall. But if you're selling a condo to buy a townhouse or a house, my read is you're selling in the slower lane and buying in the busier one - plan the two sides separately.

Canada and Vietnam just opened the skies. Nobody's said which city gets the flight.

The Air Transport Agreement signed Sept 24 clears the way for the first-ever nonstops between the two countries - up to 14 weekly passenger flights each way plus 7 cargo.

Air Canada says it intends to launch Ho Chi Minh City service in 2027, but told Vancouver Is Awesome it's too early to discuss routes, and its own release makes future service conditional on approvals still to come. There has never been a YVR-Saigon direct; it would run roughly 14 to 15 hours over almost 12,000 km.

The trade numbers underneath this are the part worth sitting with. Vietnam is Canada's largest ASEAN partner, and in 2025 the flow was $1.3 billion in Canadian exports against $19.3 billion in Vietnamese imports - a 15-to-1 gap.

This agreement is a Trade Diversification and Indo-Pacific play, and Vancouver is the physical hinge of all of it. That matters here in a way it doesn't in most Canadian cities: direct air links to Asia are infrastructure for this housing market.

They shape where relocation clients land, how often families move between two countries, and where foreign capital finds it easy to show up.

Every new nonstop to Asia strengthens that tie, and Air Canada just killed the Singapore route, so the direction isn't guaranteed. Watch which gateway gets named, not just whether the flight happens.

One family owns the building, the grocery store and the drugstore!

Alba is done - 6 storeys and 157 rental homes at 377 Penticton Street in Hastings-Sunrise, with ground-floor retail anchored by a Fresh St. Market and a London Drugs. The developer is Hathstauwk, a Richmond firm the Louie family has run for 120 years, and the Louies own all three of those retail brands: London Drugs, Fresh St. Market and IGA.

The word I'd underline isn't "grocery," it's "completed." Purpose-built rental gets announced in this city constantly and finished far less often, and only a finished building moves anything.

157 households landing at once is real absorption pulled out of the nearby resale and basement-suite pool. For owners in Hastings-Sunrise, that doesn't hit comps next month - it shows up later, once the retail is running and the blocks around Penticton start trading on walkability instead of lot size.

For buyers, the gap between "the building is finished" and "the neighbourhood reprices" is usually the quietest part of the cycle, and the cheapest.

Sixteen Courses On The Drive

Haisan opens this fall at 2892 Commercial Drive: 30 seats, one 16-course tasting menu, about three hours. Chef Steven Che was born in Macau, raised in Vancouver, and started in hospitality at 13. He trained at a three-Michelin-star restaurant in Oslo and a three-hatted restaurant in Adelaide, took Rising Star Chef of the Year at the 2024 Chinese Restaurant Awards, won the 2026 Garland Canada Culinary Competition, and runs Just Pizza on Kingsway.

He throws the ceramics the food is served on. The concept is Chinese Pacific Northwest - not two cuisines blended, one point of view.

Fine dining almost never opens east of Main. It clusters downtown, in Yaletown, in Gastown, where the expense accounts and hotel guests are. A 30-seat tasting room on Commercial Drive is a bet that the audience for this has moved, and that people will travel for a chef rather than a postal code.

The address makes the same point. Grandview Tire and Auto stood there until 2023. A four-storey rental building replaced it, and Haisan takes a ground-floor unit nobody has ever cooked in.

We argue endlessly about towers and density in this city and almost never about what lands underneath - which is the part residents actually live with.

Per Noms, the buildout permit alone ran $380,000 for those 30 seats, which is most of the reason new ground-floor retail sits dark for a year after a building opens.

No menu price or firm opening date announced yet.

In Just Under The Wire

UBC's Learning Exchange has operated in the Downtown Eastside since 1999 - digital literacy, English courses, 76 community partners. It's moving from 612 Main St to a purpose-built space at 315 Main St, anchoring a development that broke ground last month: 118 social housing units, a roughly 1,700 sq ft non-profit community theatre, and commercial space. Contributions total $96 million across five partners - $41.9M federal through the Affordable Housing Fund, $14.5M in City land lease contributions plus $2.7M in waivers, $12.5M from UBC toward the Learning Exchange itself, with BC Housing, CMHC and MAC Development and Housing Society. Completion expected 2029.

It started in 2018 with one person approaching the Learning Exchange about anchoring a development, and took the better part of a decade, three levels of government and the non-profit sector to reach a shovel. Most attempts at that don't make it.

And the window it came through is closing. Approved in 2022 under the SHORT program, it delivers 100% social housing and 1:1 replacement of the 20 SRA units on site, with eligible tenants retaining the right to return.

December 2025 amendments dropped the district's social housing requirement to a 20% minimum and cut SRA replacement to 50-80%.

On the money side, the National Housing Strategy is no longer taking applications and federal social housing financing is projected to fall 56% between 2025-26 and 2028-29.

So this is both things at once: an institution choosing to stay somewhere for 27 years, and the last clean run of a model that's narrowing behind it.
