The Lansdowne Legacy

In 2008, after much consideration and wide consultation, the City of Richmond approved a new City Centre Area Plan (CCAP), animated by a vision of making Richmond “the most appealing livable and well-managed community in Canada.”

The City of Richmond’s City Centre Area Plan sets out four main goals:

  • Build Community

  • Build Green

  • Build Economic Vitality

  • Build a Legacy


Our Vision

Once home to the region’s most popular racetrack, and later one of its most iconic shopping malls, Lansdowne is yet again the dream location — 50 acres of evolutionary potential on which to urbanize and energize “the Centre of Richmond’s City Centre.” Click on the icons below to learn more.
