Chard Development has submitted their revised rezoning proposal for 1045 Haro Street, a one-acre site in the West End at the Northeast corner of Haro and Thurlow Streets.

The site had previously been proposed for a 55-storey condo tower, but a formal application never proceeded. The site was subsequently sold via a court ordered sale in 2024, when Chard acquired the site.

The new proposal is two rental towers above commercial. The tower heights are 26-storeys and 25-storeys, above an 8-storey podium. Details include:

• 542 rental units including 22 below-market units;
• A childcare facility;
• 26,000 SF of retail space including a grocery anchor;
• a total density of 10.78 FSR;
• A building height of 262 ft.

This application is being considered under the West End Community Plan.

The architect for the project is MCM Architects.
