The tallest building on the North Shore can now be built in the Seylynn neighbourhood of the District of North Vancouver, following a contentious council vote Monday (Dec. 10).

In a 4-3 vote, council approved the five-building development east of Mountain Highway and north of Fern Street, which includes three highrises measuring 24, 28, and 32 storeys.

In an equally close vote the week before, council passed an amendment to limit height to 28 storeys, but last Monday’s meeting restored the plan to its previous height limits, thus allowing the 32-storey tower.
