A lot of the corridor already has apartment buildings.
From Granville until Arbutus along 6th Ave, it's pretty much all apartment and the Broadway corridor is just three blocks south. Then on Arbutus from Broadway until 16th Ave it's pretty dense with apartments, and will only get denser with developments like The Ridge.
Then from King Edward Ave to 33rd Ave you already have quite a few apartment complexes, you have the big Safeway site which will be redeveloped in the next decade and you have a big townhouse complex on King Edward and Arbutus. There is also a large high school 2 blocks west of Arbutus at what should be 30th Ave.
From 37th Ave until 41st Ave it's basically all apartments and commercial. There's also a big high school there.
From 41st Ave to 49th Ave the corridor is covered in apartments and lots of commercial. There's also a big high school and an elementary school two blocks east around 47th Ave.
This doesn't include the whole Kerrisdale area which spans a couple blocks on either side of the corridor from around 37th till 49th Ave...
