MST Development, in partnership with Aquilini Development has initiated the rezoning process for 3200 East Broadway, a 9.2 acre site formerly housing BC Liquor Distribution.

The City of Vancouver is seeking public input on this proposal at an early stage in the rezoning process, called the enhanced rezoning stage.

The site is considered a “Unique Site” in the Rupert and Renfrew Station Area Plan that is concurrently in the final stages of public consultation.

Early details of the proposal for 3200 East Broadway include:

• Ten towers up to 60-storeys in height;
• 3,800 residential units;
• Commercial space for 1,750 jobs;
• a childcare facility
• 2.3 acres of public open space.

The enhanced rezoning pre-application can be viewed here: https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/3200eastbroadway

Public consultation will commence in October, with a full rezoning application expected in 2025.

I am pleased to present the opportunity to purchase this 12,500 SF corner site in the Broadway Plan, with a rezoning designation for up to 8-storeys, 3.0 FSR. The site is located at the corner of West 12th Avenue and Alberta Street, and can be expanded via assembly of the neighbouring lot, also listed for sale.

Bosa Properties has submitted their revised rezoning application for 1706-1738 Alberni Street in the West End.

The site has had two previous applications/design iterations, with the first in 2020 and a subsequent design in 2021. The two designs had featured international architects and were presumably costly builds.

In July 2024, Vancouver Council approved amendments to the City’s view cone policy that relaxed a view cone (20.1) that previously restricted the Alberni site. Now, the building heights have been increased.

The proposal for the site is two mixed-use buildings at 44-storeys (east tower) and 41-storeys (west tower) above a 6-storey podium. The more conventional proposal includes:

• 236 condo units (west tower);
• 377 rental units (east tower);
• 5,000 SF of retail space;
• A total density of 16.11 FSR (east tower) and 14.60 FSR (west tower); and
• Building heights of 385 ft. with additional height for rooftop amenity space.

This application is being considered under the West End Rezoning Policy.

The architect for the project is Henriquez Partners.
