In 1988, it was purchased byConcord Pacific Developmentswith investors led byHongkongerbillionaireLi Ka-shing.It was subsequently expanded during Vancouver's recurrent housing booms of the 1990s and 2000s, brought about by greater port traffic and general economic activity, waves of Asian immigration, and the2010 Winter Olympics.Estimates of the total size of the finished development range from a "[C]$2 billion... 200 acre site comprises approximately 8,000 units of accommodation"[3]to a "[C]$4 billion [site]... [home to] more than 20,000 people on over 200 acres"to"about 50 buildings with 10,000 homes".[4]
