Westbank Acquires Kingsway Canadian Tire Site in Vancouver

Westbank Projects has closed on the acquisition of 2220 Kingsway in Vancouver. The 2.3 acre site was purchased from Manulife Financial for $34,088,000, representing approximately $107 per buildable sq ft.

The site, currently occupied by Canadian Tire for at least another year, will likely be rezoned to accommodate a mixed-use retail/residential development under the guidelines of the Norquay Village Neighbourhood Centre Plan, which, because of the large nature of the site, will likely allow a density of 3.2 to 3.5 FSR for a residential/commercial development with towers as high as 14-storeys.
