2 Comment(s) 0 Recommendation(s) VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - New-home construction in Vancouver last month posted the biggest gain of any major city.
A federal agency says Vancouver-area housing starts rose 92 per cent in September to 1,644. The Metro area drove a 91 per cent province-wide gain that was Canada's biggest.
The news from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation comes a day after figures showing local residential building permits are also sharply higher. Nationally, the rate of urban housing starts fell about three per cent due to a drop in single-family home construction.
