Cressey’s new Southeast False Creek project, branded ‘Meccanica’, has been approved for rezoning. The site was previously zoned M-2 Industrial (formerly home to Busters Towing).

The project consists of 170 units in a 12-storey tower and 6-storey podium. Total density is 3.5 FSR. Unit sizes range from 540 to 970 sq ft.

Cressey is taking registrations and sales will launch soon.

This will add to other upcoming inventory in the immediate area including Bastion’s Opsal project, and Onni’s Central in addition to several projects at various stages of construction.
