Westbank Revises Plan for East Broadway Safeway Site

Westbank has submitted a revised rezoning application for the 2.5 acre East Broadway site, originally proposed in September 2019.

The main change to the proposal is a shift away from primarily condos, to primarily market rental units. The revision shows a decrease in the number of condos from 520 to 236, and an increase in the number of rental units, from 160 to 452 units. Details of the updated plan include:

  • 452 secured rental units;
  • 236 strata residential units;
  • Revised tower heights from 24, 27, & 30-storeys to 25, 29, & 30 storeys;
  • 63,000 SF of retail including 50,000 SF Safeway store;
  • 48,000 SF of office space;
  • Public plaza running parallel to the SkyTrain station;
  • 486 vehicle parking spaces and 1360 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Grandview Woodland Community Plan(External link).

The architect for the project is Perkins + Will.
