Similar to last year’s most-read Done Deals, the 2018 transaction portfolios that drew the most clicks to our site are properties with potential for residential real estate development. Land parcels outside of the Vancouver core proved popular, with the cities of Coquitlam, Mission and Squamish making the cut. The most-read sale, however, took place outside of B.C.
