Vancouver’s Shannon Mews eyeing first permit.

The application for phase one of the Shannon Estate development at 57th and Granville goes before the city’s Development Permit Board July 16.

Council approved the rezoning of the Shannon Mews site almost a year ago—at 2 a.m., July 29—following three days of contentious hearings that went late into the night. Of the 179 people registered to speak, 85 were opposed, four were classified as “other,” seven were in support and 83 didn’t speak.

238 West Broadway – An eight storey, 61 unit mixed use development was recently approved by the Development Permit Board.  The project will be utilizing a density transfer from a donor site (163 West Hastings Street – the Flack Block) which will give the project a total FSR of 3.25.

1545 West 8th Avenue – An eight storey, 18 unit development with two levels of underground parking was recently approved by the Development Permit Board.  The project, by Kenstone Properties, will be 23 metres in height and will have a 3.0 FSR.
