简体中文

The City is undertaking a planning process to guide the future of the former Molson Brewery site in Fairview.

The 7.7‑acre site was developed in 1953 for heavy industrial use. The surrounding area has changed significantly over time. Today, the site is bordered by residential neighbourhoods, employment and creative districts, parks and open spaces, and the nearby Sen̓áḵw development, which is currently under construction. Brewery operations ended in 2019 and the site is no longer suited to continue as a stand-alone heavy industrial property.

Recognizing this shift, City Council has asked staff to explore opportunities for the site that better reflect its location and evolving context.

What we’re exploring

We are exploring ideas that could support a growing, mixed‑use neighbourhood and help the site better integrate with the surrounding area, which could include:

  • A range of building types and heights, including buildings over 26 storeys;
  • New and diverse job space, such as office, retail, hotel, service, tech and light industrial uses;
  • Residential uses; and
  • Public amenities and open space.

At this stage, no specific designs or development plans have been proposed.

Next steps

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback on the former Molson Brewery site ODP amendment. Our public consultation period ran from April 2 to April 23, 2026. Read the consultation summary to learn what we heard from members of the public.

Public input helped shape the Guiding Principles and Rezoning Guidelines for the site, which were submitted to Council as part of the ODP amendment. Learn more in the Council report.

Council will consider the ODP amendment at a Public Hearing on July 21, 2026, as required by the Vancouver Charter. Members of the public can share their feedback with Council through the Public Hearing process in the following ways:

Details about future development would be considered through a rezoning application process, which would include additional opportunities for public feedback.
