Official Supplier: Millennium Development Corporation

On March 20, 2008 VANOC announced that Millennium Development Corporation has signed on an Official Supplier of the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics. As a supplier they have made a financial contribution in the amount of $3M to the games.

Millennium has had several high-profile, well-received developments in the Greater Vancouver Area. Highlights have included the Water's Edge community in West Vancouver on the shores of the Capilano River and the master-planned 7-tower community in South-Burnaby known as City-in-the-Park.

The City of Vancouver awarded the bid for the Olympic Village to Millennium in 2006. The village will house some 3000 athletes during the games and will be an active athlete community from November 1, 2009 until March 30, 2010. The development is scheduled to be completed by Millennium in October and then it will be handed over to VANOC.

After the athletes have returned to their international homes, the Olympic Village will be handed back to Millennium in April 2010 where it will assume its post-Games legacy design. The first phase of homes has been sold. Phase Two, of the development known as Millennium Water is being marketed by Rennie Marketing with previews starting April 5, 2008.
