Benefits of the Olympic Games Vancouver has been chosen as the host city for the XX1 Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2010. The Games will bring millions of dollars of investment into the area including a $600 million investment into widening the Sea to Sky highway connecting Whistler to Vancouver which will reduce the drive time between the 2 cities by almost 30 minutes. In recent Olympic Games it has been estimated that 50% of the overall benefit accrues to tourism. It is anticipated that the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games will not only meet this target but exceed it, with a majority tourism strategy in place leading up to the Games. Estimated visitor numbers to Vancouver and Whistler during the Games are 250,000. The impact of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City was significant. A Senior Vice President of Jones Lang Las Salle stated "While the Winter Olympics may only last 17 days, the effects on the real estate markets of the host city are felt long after the final gold medals are awarded." International visitor growth to host cities has increased by an average of almost 25% in the second year after the Games. The hotel market is clearly affected by the Games Investment Opportunity: This is a unique investment opportunity in that there is a steady rental income as well as the capital appreciation potential as 2010 Olympics nears. Rental Income: The Hilton manages the rooms and looks after all the day to day running of the hotel and the maintenance of your unit. There is a Management Agreement between the Room Owners (called Strata Owners) and the Hilton. A proportion of the revenue from the room is retained by the Hilton Whistler for this service. The hotel has been achieving approximately just over 70% occupancy and the rooms let out are rotated so that the usage is fairly distributed amongst Investors. It was projected that the occpancy rate would rise to 70% 2 years after the redevelopment but it has reached this figure after 1 year. Due to its configuration these units have an advantage with this rotation arrangement, as its 2 rooms are in the rotation 3 times, due to the fact that it can be occupied as a double or family unit thereby giving it a greater return then if it was 2 separate units. Room rates vary depending on seasonal flucutations between $300 CAD per night ($150 per room) to the projected rate of $600 CAD per night with the built up to the 2010 Olympics. Capital Appreciation: Over the last 5 years the average condo in Whistler has appreciated 70.5%. Current market conditions in Whistler are hot with the condo sales average price of $770,000 CAD or approx. 535,000 Euros. Unit sales for single detached homes were up 66% in the first quarter of 2007 over 2006 and a 29% increase for condominiums for the same time frame. The number of new developments is also up with new condos, hotels and townhouses being built in preparation for the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games. The impact of the Olympic games cannot be overstated and prices are expected to continue a steady growth far beyond the 2010 Olympics. Whistler continues to be ranked as the #1 ski resort in North America and a Top 20 Golf destination. The average Whistler condo purchaser is over 40 looking for a second home and sound invesment. As the general population continues to age closer to retirement, Whistler's will continue to be the destination of choice for whose seeking a year round mountain playground.
