Why is Vancouver’s skyline going dark? 🏙️👻 With the February 3rd Empty Homes Tax deadline just 7 days away, we’re exposing the city’s “Ghost Towers.”
From the twisting glass of Vancouver House to the sculpted curves of The Butterfly on Nelson Street, iconic luxury landmarks are sitting with thousands of unlit windows. Despite a record housing crisis, these multimillion-dollar units remain silent. Today, January 28th, marks the one-week countdown for property owners to declare their status—or face a massive 3% tax hit on their 2025 assessed value.
The Deadline: February 3, 2026.
The Penalty: Failure to declare results in an automatic “Vacant” status.
The Rate: 3% of the property’s value (That’s $30,000 for every $1M).
Local Impact: We look at how Coal Harbour and the West End are becoming “safety deposit boxes in the sky.”
