Vancouver抯 Most Advanced Focus Group and
Meeting Facility Celebrates 1st Anniversary

Vancouver BC - CoastalViews is Vancouver抯 latest and most advanced focus group and meeting facility, offering state-of-the-art technology in a comfortable and luxurious environment. Named to reflect the natural area surrounding Vancouver, CoastalViews has opened its doors in trendy Yaletown providing a stylish and fully equipped meeting space with the added benefit of close proximity to all amenities.

As Canada抯 third largest urban area, Vancouver offers qualitative market researchers a valuable pool of opinions and tastes, and Yaletown offers clients and moderators a plethora of restaurants and shops to choose from as well as pleasant conditions in which to work.

Amidst the shortage of good meeting space and with only 2.6 per cent vacancy* ? the lowest of any city core in North America ?the facility offers organizations a place to conduct interviews, board meetings, educational events and other meeting requirements on an as-needed basis. CoastalViews rents space starting with hourly rates and can configure meeting space to accommodate a variety of needs. 揟he demand for space is only getting higher as we approach the 2010 Olympics,?says Managing Partner, Tyler Hassman.

The interior of CoastalViews mirrors both its urban and rural environments with a polished, sleek, and naturalistic look. This highly modern yet functional space includes: relaxing and inviting executive client lounges; focus group, breakout, board, and interview rooms with both wireless and wired Internet connections; courtesy phones; multi-functional devices; attentive hosts; concierge services; and a fully equipped kitchen with catering service.

揙ur top priority is to create an environment for our clients that makes their experience the most comfortable and productive as possible,?says Mr. Hassman.

CoastalViews has the ability to record in high-quality DVD, CD and MP3 formats with the option of remote viewing for clients via live Internet streaming through ActiveGroup or FocusVision. Hi-Definition 60?plasma screens in client lounges provide excellent displays for presentations, entertainment or creative stimulation via a Nintendo Wii game system. Meeting rooms are also equipped with LCD projectors, whiteboards, easels, wall tack boards, high-quality teleconferencing equipment, and configured for website and application interface usability testing.

揑t was a pleasure conducting my qualitative research at the new CoastalViews facility. The staff is helpful and courteous. The facility is modern and well equipped. My clients enjoyed viewing the physician focus groups on the 60?Hi-Definition plasma screen in the client lounge. The tilt, pan and zoom controls gave them a good perspective. It was unique.?-- Graham Davies, Davies Strategic Solutions
