简体中文

The City is beginning 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 standalone 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.

How to get involved

We want to hear your feedback for this project.

Next steps

A summary of what was heard will be shared later this year.

Public input will inform the Vancouver Official Development Plan amendment, which Council will consider at a Public Hearing as mandated by the Vancouver Charter.

The details of future development on the site would be considered through a rezoning application process, which would include further opportunities for public feedback.
