1075 Nelson St (DP-2021-00589) development application

On May 20, 2025, an update to the Development Permit Board report was presented to the Board Members and approved for this DP, following the approval by Council of a Text Amendment to the CD-1. The amendment is regarding meeting the social housing obligations through a cash-in-lieu payment which will be used to deliver off-site social housing.

Brivia Group has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop this site, consisting of:

• A 60-storey, Passive House residential building
• A building height of 178.46m (585 ft. to to the top of the appurtenance)
• A net floor area of 39,768 m² (428,060 sq.ft.)
• A FSR of 24.7
• A total of 501 residential units that include:
  • 102 social housing units
  • 49 market rental units
  • 350 market condo rental units
• Ten levels of underground parking with 321 vehicle parking spaces and 1,042 Class A bicycle parking spaces and 27 Class B bicycle spaces

Under the site’s proposed CD-1 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Development Permit Board.
