Beside the locals, I am sure it's targetted for those weatlthy from Mainland China.  As far as I can see. Many more cities in China will continue to growth for years to come.  Their people in needs of finding a place to go outside of China will continue to increase.  If the numbers of immigrants from Taiwan and Hong Kong are making a different to Vancouver years ago.  You can see how much more it's going to change by our wealthy Chinese from Mainland.
They can also partner with travel agency as a must go location for tourist.

Unless something happen to China, I think Vancouver will continue to grow in terms of $$$$.  Yet, it will become less affordable for those who don't already have the money to afford a house.  High rent, small space, limited income.  Since many of the sectors that growth would be restaurants and retails, which dont' necessary pay well.

Yet, if this is the directions Vancouver is heading, it also means more opportunities to run your own business, and make a decent income.
