Construction Update: The Independent

The Independent by Rize Alliance is currently in the excavation phase. The 21-storey, 258 unit project at Main and Kingsway in East Vancouver was approved in late 2014 after a four year process which entailed a lengthy rezoning application process, at times contentious within the local community, and several revisions to the project.

From a marketing perspective, the project appears to have done quite well. Sales were launched in February 2015, and the project was substantially sold out within a few months.
