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 25-storey mixed-use rental building with a five-storey podium and includes:

  • 230 units with 20% of the floor area for below-market units and commercial at-grade (7.92 FSR);
  • A new, smaller telecommunications facility (0.69 FSR) to replace the existing structure;
  • A total floor space ratio (FSR) of 8.61; and
  • A building height of 78.6 m (258 ft.) with additional height for rooftop amenity space.

This application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

Please note, a development permit for the new, smaller telecommunications facility has been submitted and is currently under staff review. The proposed telecommunications use is permitted under the existing zoning. If you have questions related to the development permit (DP-2025-00030), please contact Bryce Cassidy, Project Facilitator - bryce.casidy@vancouver.ca – 604-871-6707

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.

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.

  • Share I'm noticing that I'm seeing a lot less greenery on some of the newer buildings that are going up - could it be possible for the City's zoning to consider only allowing towers that integrate larger plantings into the buildings - say every 3 stories or so? This way the towers might more resemble a part of the natural landscape vs. a more barren urban skyline. This could probably provide good ecosystem services as well that can help to make up at least in a small part for the loss of trees, shrubs and unpaved spaces in the city resulting from densification and help with climate change. It would be good for the mental health of residents as well as we know that being able to look at nature is good for health.

    That's a very insightful observation, and you're absolutely right to highlight the numerous benefits of integrating greenery into building design, especially as urban areas become more densely populated. Incorporating vegetation into towers -  through vertical greenery,  rooftop gardens, green roof or planted terraces can offer significant ecosystem services: improving air quality, reducing the urban heat island effect, mitigating the loss of trees and canopy coverage, supporting biodiversity, and enhancing mental health and well-being by bringing more nature into residents’ daily lives.

    This kind of visionary thinking is what leads to more sustainable and livable cities. You're not alone in advocating for greener urban spaces. We will share your ideas on designing towers to resemble and integrate with the natural landscape with the relevant teams at the city and explore how other cities have implemented similar green building initiatives. 

    Currently, it’s standard practice for PDS Landscape to encourage rooftop gardens, green roofs, and integrated planters in building design. We also strive to retain as many healthy existing trees as possible, maximize growing medium and planting depths for new trees, promote below grade setbacks where feasible to increase permeable surfaces, and support rainwater infiltration. These efforts contribute to City’s broader sustainability goals and urban forestry strategy. By expanding tree canopy coverage and ensuring the long-term viability of the landscape, we help create a healthier urban environment. Of course, there is always room for improvement, and we continue to explore new opportunities to strengthen our green infrastructure. 

    We thank you for your shown concern and your efforts in helping shape the future of our City!

    Thank you for your question. Capacity assessments were coordinated through the Broadway Plan development. Please refer to the Plan’s Public Benefits Strategy on Pg. 472; https://guidelines.vancouver.ca/policy-plan-broadway.pdf Strategies for new parks/open spaces/community spaces can be reviewed between Pgs. 476-493. These future projects will be funded through Broadway Plan Community Amenity Contributions (CACs) and Capital Works Plans. The Park Board’s 10 Goals to Shape the Next 25 Years is also an informative report to understand the City’s strategy for new and improved park spaces; https://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-culture/report-2-10-goals-to-shape-the-next-25-years.aspx

    The Broadway Public Realm Plan is also underway and seeking feedback/ideas from the community; https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/broadway-public-realm?tool=news_feed#tool_tab 

    I have a provided a lot of links and homework here so please give me a call if you have any questions.

    Thank you for your question. Staff require applicants to coordinate a video fly-through to provide additional views and perspectives of the proposal. The video fly-through is not required to show the future context of the surrounding built form.
