Yaletown and False Creek
Towers in white, False Creek in blue.
A 3D printed map of Vancouver, framed
Vancouver is a city of water and towers. False Creek, English Bay and Burrard Inlet wrap a downtown of glass high-rises, and low houses spread up the slopes beyond. That mix of tall and small is exactly what a 3D model shows best.
It's also home: every Tiny Hometown model is printed and framed here, in Yaletown.

What shows up in a Vancouver model
In the Yaletown model above you can pick out the round roof of BC Place, the Cambie Bridge crossing False Creek, and the towers along the seawall stepping down to the water.
Every building, street, park and shoreline comes from OpenStreetMap, saved the moment you order, so your model matches the preview you approved. Parks print green with little trees, and bridges stand on piers over the water. Mark up to 5 buildings in colour and add an engraved plaque.

Questions about Vancouver models
Can I choose somewhere not listed above?
Yes. The areas are just starting points. Search any address in Vancouver, or anywhere else, and drag the square where you like.
Is a brand-new building included?
Buildings come from OpenStreetMap. Very new ones can take a few weeks to appear, so check the preview before you order. You can add a missing one yourself.
Can I send it as a gift?
Yes. Tick "This is a gift" and enter their address at checkout: there's no price in the box, and your note comes printed on a card. Not sure of the spot? A gift card lets them choose.
