The formal rezoning application has been submitted for the Heather Lands, a 21-acre site located just West of Cambie Street, between West 33rd and West 37th. The site is jointly owned by Canada Lands Company,  the Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation (the “MST Nations”).

A comprehensive planning program was initiated for the site in 2016 and concluded in 2018, now the details are being revealed for submission to City Council in the rezoning application.

The proposal is for a master-planned redevelopment of the site, built in five phases, with buildings between 3 and 28 storeys, a childcare facility, a school, a park and public open space, office space, retail space, and a cultural centre. This proposal includes:

• approximately 1,672 condo units;
• approximately 400 rental units, including 100 moderate income rental units;
• approximately 540 social housing units;
• A maximum building height of 304 ft.;
• 62,287 SF of retail space;
• 62,994 SF of office space;
• A 22,549 SF Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh (MST) Cultural Centre;
• A 74-space childcare facility;
• A new Conseil Scolaire Francophone (CSF) French elementary school (on leased land);
• 4 acres of park and open space.

The application describes the design rationale: “The proposed new Heather Lands neighbourhood reflects the shared aspiration of CLC-MST to transform the Heather Lands into an inspiring, progressive and sustainable new neighbourhood that generates the best possible economic and social benefit for MST Nations’ members, local communities, and the country. It also clearly reflects the vision laid out in the Heather Lands Policy Statement: “the vision for the new community is to create a sustainable new neighbourhood that will be a place to welcome and connect all people and cultures, and to share the traditions, culture and values of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.”

The application is being considered under the Heather Lands Policy Statement approved as part of the initial planning process.

The architect for the project is Dialog.
