Wall Financial is proposing a 15 storey non-market rental building with ancillary office at the intersection of Seymour and Helmcken Streets.  The project will have 81 residential units that are rented at non-market rates and may form part of the Community Amenity Contribution for another Wall Financial project at the intersection of Richards and Drake Streets.

Boffo Developments in conjunction with James Schouw have started construction of Artemesia at the intersection of Helmcken and Hornby Streets in Downtown Vancouver.  The project was previously halted because of financial troubles but is now proceeding.  The project will include 21 suites over 5 storeys.

During demolition of the building that previously sat on the site, the project made news when walls collapsed into the street damaging public and private property.  View the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUFjy8wQ8mQ
