Holborn Group pays less property tax on long-delayed Little Mountain project. … Article written by Sonal Gupta. A patch of long-delayed development land in Vancouver has been temporarily turned into dog parks and a community garden. To some neighbours and critics, it looks less like a public amenity than a way to lower the tax bill on land that has sat unfinished for years. The land is part of the Little Mountain redevelopment, a 15-acre site near Queen Elizabeth Park bought from the province in...

Alongside the citywide ball-a-palooza, there have been more substantial changes, such as blocked-off streets, postponed local cultur...
