The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone the subject site from CD-1 (732) (Comprehensive Development) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is to allow for the development of a 38-storey mixed-use social housing building, and it includes:
- 378 social housing units;
- Cultural space on the ground floor;
- A floor space ratio (FSR) of 24.39; and
- A building height of 123.0 m (402 ft.).
This application is being considered under the Downtown Eastside Plan.
This application is being processed and reviewed concurrently with the application to rezone 501-525 W Georgia St, 619 Richards St, and 500 Dunsmuir St, & 575-595 W Georgia St, and 620-692 Seymour St. The application proposes to transfer ownership of the building at 388 Abbot Street to the City.
Application drawings and statistics are posted as-submitted to the City. Following staff review, the final project statistics are documented within the referral report.
The opportunity to ask questions through the Q&A is available from November 19 to December 2, 2025.
