The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone the subject site from C-3A (Commercial) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is to allow for the development of a 28-storey and a 29-storey mixed-use building, and includes:

  • 421 strata units;
  • 107 social housing units;
  • Live-work space;
  • An approximate 50-space childcare;
  • A floor space ratio (FSR) of 8.5; and
  • Building heights up to 91.4 m (300 ft.).

This rezoning application is being considered under the Broadway Plan

Application drawings and statistics are posted as-submitted to the City. Following staff review, the final project statistics are documented within the referral report.

What rationale supports allowing a height increase of nearly three times the established local building form? 2. What is the estimated construction duration, including excavation and foundation works, and how will the City ensure these timelines are met to minimize prolonged disturbance to nearby residents? on Facebook Share 1.

    The Broadway Plan, approved by Council in June 2022, enables increased building heights and densities to integrate new housing, job space, and amenities close to the new Broadway Subway. This site is within the FGBE area of the Plan, which enables a general maximum building height of 20 storeys and density of 7.5 FSR for projects providing 20% of the residential floor area as turnkey social housing to the City. For larger sites and sites providing on-site open space (privately-owned public space, or POPS), the Plan enables consideration of up to 6 additional storeys in building height (S11.6.5). The Plan does enable flexibility in the interpretation of policy for projects that better deliver on the Plan’s objectives. In addition to the social housing, this rezoning proposes delivery of an approximately 50-space childcare facility. At this time, staff are reviewing the application and we have not arrived at any recommendations. As part of the process, the City seeks the input of the public on applications to contribute to the staff review process. 

    According to the developer: Construction timelines will be determined closer to the construction start and following all necessary approvals. It is anticipated that construction of the towers will take approximately 36 months – in line with schedules of similar tower projects. Please note that it is generally in all party’s best interest to complete these projects on schedule.
