The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone the subject site from R1-1 (Residential Inclusive) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District.

The proposal is to allow for the development of four 39-45-storey mixed-use buildings, and includes:

  • 1,959 residential units; with
  • 1,386 strata units;
  • 573 rental units with 20% of the floor area for below-market units;
  • Commercial space, a 73-space private child care, and amenities on the ground floor;
  • A floor space ratio (FSR) of 10.5; and
  • Building heights ranging from 163.8 m (537 ft.) to 187.4 m (618 ft.).

This application is being considered under the Rupert Renfrew Station Area Plan as a new Unique Site. Proposals for Unique Sites are expected to undertake a more comprehensive development review and consultation process, given their larger scale and complexity.

The City’s Tenant Relocation and Protection Policy applies to this site. This policy provides assistance and protections to eligible renters impacted by redevelopment activity. To learn more visit: vancouver.ca/protecting-tenants.

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


Update, November 19, 2025:

Requested boards from the open house are now posted on this website.


Update, November 28, 2025:

Landscape drawings have been updated.


Update, December 22, 2025:

Minor inconsistencies within the rezoning booklet for building heights and building grades were addressed.

​The Q&A period has concluded. Thank you for participating.

The opportunity to ask questions through the Q&A is available from November 12 to November 25, 2025. 

We post all questions as-is and aim to respond within two business days. Some questions may require coordination with internal departments and additional time may be needed to post a response.

Please note that the comment form will remain open after the Q&A period. The Rezoning Planner can also be contacted directly for any further feedback or questions.

    The Rupert and Renfrew Plan area aims to provide an abundant choice of housing for a culturally and economically diverse population. This includes opportunities for a mix of building types, including lower density options like multiplex or townhouse, low-rise apartments, and high-rise buildings. Existing building stock, which includes a high proportion of single detached and duplex houses, will continue to play a part in the local ‘housing mix.’ Most existing homes in the Rupert and Renfrew area are single detached houses or duplexes, resulting in limited options for renters. The limited rental options are matched by both a constrained supply of social housing and a lack of higher density homeownership opportunities. As the city and its renter population continues to grow, more housing diversity is needed to create complete neighbourhoods. A core objective of the Plan is to deliver secured market rental housing and amenities around the Rupert and Renfrew SkyTrain stations. 

    While this project is considered a “unique site”, it is located in the Rapid Transit Areas (subarea A) and 250 m from the Renfrew Skytrain Station. For sites like this, the goal is to create higher density transit-oriented neighbourhoods with rental, below-market rental and ownership options, and where residents can easily access rapid transit and daily needs. Adding more housing choices close to transit will also help lower the overall transportation costs for households and support city-wide climate change goals. In addition, the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan includes Villages and Multiplex areas. Villages aim to build complete neighbourhoods by adding shopping areas and low-rise rental apartments and ownership options such as condominiums, townhouses, and multiplexes. Multiplexes offer more affordable and sustainable ground-oriented housing options compared to single detached houses.

    At present, most of the Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS) in Vancouver are found in and around the downtown peninsula. A number of these were included as part of a comprehensive study of downtown public spaces that took place between 2017-20. (You can read about the methods and findings here: https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/places-for-people-downtown.aspx). In general, POPS can play a role in meeting the diverse public space needs of Vancouver communities.

    As part of developing the Rupert and Renfrew Plan, City staff assessed both quantitative and qualitative aspects of public space in the planning an area. This included looking at how much public space people have access to within a 5 minute walk and how much park space people have access in a 10 minute walk, and exploring how the existing spaces function (qualitative analysis). This work helped to inform the public space policies and Public Realm Framework that is found in the Plan.

    This site in question falls within an identified “Park Priority Area.” The POPS design is anticipated to support park-like design features (e.g. outdoor play, greenspace). In general, green and leafy POPS can offer opportunities for leisure, individual fitness, and connection among neighbours, which are complementary to amenities offered by parks. 

    Refer to Map 3.7 “Parks and Public Space Priority Areas Map” in the Rupert and Renfrew Area Plan for more information about Park and Public Space Priority Areas.

    More generally, POPS are often built on-slab above underground garages and close to buildings so the long-lived tree canopy and access to nature values they provide can be limited.  Due to proximity to buildings and typical small (<0.5 ac.) size, they also are frequently challenging for developers to program for many typical park uses not large enough for amenities like sport courts, grass fields and dog off-leash areas.   It would be fair to say that green and leafy POPS can offer opportunities for leisure, individual fitness, and connection among neighbours, which are complementary to amenities offered by parks.
