Rezoning Proposal for Former MEC Broadway Site Unveiled

Reliance Properties and Quadreal have submitted their long-anticipated rezoning application for the former MEC site at 130 West Broadway. MEC moved into a new purpose built facility on West 2nd Avenue.

The site is owned by Quadreal and Reliance in a 50/50 partnership. Despite having acquired the site over five years ago and originally submitted a rezoning enquiry in 2017, the rezoning application was delayed as a result of the Broadway Plan process.

Located within the Broadway Shoulder Area (East) neighbourhood sub-area of the Broadway Plan, the project site encompasses a significant portion of the south side of the block between Columbia and Manitoba Streets, on West Broadway.

The rezoning proposal is to allow for a two-tower rental apartment complex that includes:

  • two towers, 29 & 28-storeys in height;
  • 524 secured market rental units;
  • Commercial space at grade and on level 2;
  • A 37-space child care facility;
  • A total density of 8.46 FSR;
  • significant rooftop amenity spaces;
  • Building heights of 328 ft. (east tower) and 325 ft. (west tower); and
  • 372 vehicle parking spaces and 1,151 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

The architects for the project are NMDA and Arcadis/IBI Group.
