Originally known as Capilano Estates, the British Properties is a residential area in West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.[1] The 4,000 acre area was sold by the municipality of West Vancouver to the British Pacific Properties Corporation in 1931, which continues to develop the land to the present day.[2]
The development is credited with starting West Vancouver's slow transformation from a ferry-access only, resort-style beachside enclave into a leafy suburban community with roads, parks, and shopping centres.[3]
