Developers, start your engines. District of North Vancouver council unanimously supported a 20-year plan to bring new housing, retail and office space to the Lower Lynn town centre at its May 27 meeting.

Lower Lynn Town Centre Concept Plan

The plan includes a mixture of mid-and low-rise apartments and townhouses.

The district’s vision includes a projected 120,000 square feet of new retail space, mostly on Mountain Highway, and 50,000 square feet of new office space.

The plan has sparked “tremendous excitement” in the development community, according to the district’s general manager of planning, properties and permits Brian Bydwell.

District staff have been taking weekly meetings with prospective developers, according to Bydwell, who said a lot of the major sites are “pretty much tied up.”
