Westbank Projects, in partnership with Ivanhoe Cambridge have applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone Oakridge Centre to develop a 45-storey mixed-use development consisting of 1,430,000 SF of retail, 425,000 SF of office space, 45,000 SF of amenity space, and 2,700,000 SF of residential, with a total density of 3.54 FSR. The proposal includes 2,818 units with a maximum height of 412 ft., and 6,694 parking spaces. Henriquez Partners is the Architect for the project.

The proposed rezoning has been in the works since 2007 when the Oakridge Policy Statement was adopted. More recently, Westbank has been brought on and a planning program was developed in 2012 to help guide the rezoning process.
