Does anybody here think the Olympic exposure could draw new development firms to the city? I know there is already a lot of local competition in this regard which may discourage new firms from trying to enter the market, but perhaps we could attract some foreign firms that wish to gain a foothold in the North American market and see Vancouver as a healthy launching pad?

What I would like to see in this regard is a foreign firm that specializes in commercial office development. They might see our low vacancy rates and (naively?) think it is a wise move to build a large new office tower. I guess that's just a bit of an unrealistic personal fantasy though.
