GWL Realty Advisors Inc. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to redevelop the 264 ft. of frontage that they own in the 1500 Block of Robson Street at 1525-1555 Robson, at the corner of Cardero Street.

The site is an assembly of two separate site acquisitions, with the latter of the two at 1555 Robson acquired in April 2024 out of foreclosure, for $58 Million.

The plan for the combined site is two rental towers, 29-storeys and 28-storeys, with retail uses at grade. Details include:

• 393 market rental units;
• 40,000 SF of retail space on two levels (1.2 FSR);
• a total density of 9.625 FSR;
• four levels of underground parking with 251 parking stalls.

The application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Development Permit Board.

The architect for the project is Arcadis.
