It was a gift of the Guinness family. Yes, that Guinness family. Apparently the Guinnesses bought a whole bunch of really cheap land on the North Shore that was hard to get to, then offered to build, for free, a bridge to get people there. The city said, "sure" and overnight the land the Guinness family bought for cheap became very valuable. There's a long history of shady real estate deals in Vancouver.
