The Development Permit Board approved this application, and a Development Permit was issued on August 23, 2022.

Judicial Review, February 7, 2022 - Please see Abbcar Properties, LLC v. Vancouver (City) decision, posted below.

This application was approved with one amendment by Council on June 30, 2021, following the Public Hearings on June 15 and 29, 2021.

Henriquez Partners Architects has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop the following on this site:

  • A 11-storey, mixed-use building, containing 60 social housing units, a 340-student elementary school and a 65-space childcare centre
  • A proposed height of 38.86 m (127.49 ft.)
  • A floor space ratio of 0.89 (10,645 m² / 114,582 ft.)
  • Parking to be located in the existing Coal Harbour Community Centre, supplemented by a proposed underground level for building services and bicycle storage
  • Designed for certification under the Passive House and LEED Gold standards

Under the site’s existing CD-1 zoning, the proposed use is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Development Permit Board. A separate amendment to the zoning by-law, RZ-2020-00063, is proposed to increase the height by 8.86 m, the residential floor area by 1,303 , and the number of permitted social housing units.
