Blue Sky Properties has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 633 Main Street, at the Northwest corner of Main and Georgia, from HA-1A (Historic Area) District to CD-1 District. The proposal is for a 16-storey mixed-use building with ground-level commercial uses and 151 residential units. The proposal includes a density of 9.29 and a maximum height of 150 ft., and 158 parking spaces.

The site was sold to Blue Sky Properties in 2011 by Colliers. More information about the project can be found here.

Mammoth North Van tower plan to go to town hall meeting.

A developer with plans for a major project on the 13th Street and Lonsdale Avenue Safeway site has received city council’s OK to restart a public consultation process, despite objection that the plans are still too big.

Onni Group first brought their plans to council in December of 2010, asking to build three 180-foot condominium towers above three storeys of commercial space. The complex would have produced floor space 5.765 times the lot area — more than twice the 2.6 ratio the official community plan currently allows.

The City of Vancouver will be holding an open house for the potential redevelopment of the Marine Gardens site.

Concord Pacific has made an enquiry to the City for a possible redevelopment of the Marine Gardens site. Prior to making an application, the City of Vancouver wants to hear ideas from the community about future redevelopment of the site.

Come to an information session to learn about the site, existing and emerging policy, and the rezoning process. It is also a chance to offer your ideas, which will help shape the development, and find how you can stay involved in it. The input you provide will be considered throughout the process.
