Rezoning Application (March 28, 2025)
The City of Vancouver has received an application to amend CD-1 (99) for an increase in height from 7.3 m (30 ft.) to 119 m (391 ft.), an increase in floor space ratio (FSR) from 1.4 to 9.2, to include 23% of the residential floor area for below-market rental units, and amend the permitted uses on the site.
The proposal is for a 34-storey (east tower) and a 29-storey (west tower) mixed-use rental building which includes:
- 652 units with 23% of the floor area for below-market rental units;
- Commercial-retail space on the ground floor;
- Private 37-space space childcare facility;
- An FSR of 9.2; and
- A height from 119 m (391 ft.) (east tower), and 103 m (339 ft.) (west tower).
This application is being considered under the Interim Rezoning Policy for Social Housing, Institutional, Cultural and Recreational Uses in Former Community Visions Areas.
This application is not consistent with Council-adopted policies. The City is required to process all rezoning applications submitted, and staff position on the proposal will be summarized in the referral report later in the application process timeline.
