Fairborne Homes has revised their proposal for the 2.4 acre site at 1510 – 1530 Crown Street and 440 Mountain Highway (formerly the Dykhoff Nursery site) in the Lynn Creek area of North Vancouver.

The site was previously rezoned in 2022 to allow for a project with a 24-storey, 205-unit condo tower with 215 rental units in a concrete midrise.

The revised proposal includes:

• 429 rental units including 45 below market;
• 25,865 SF of commercial space;
• reduced underground parkade

The architect for the project is Arcadis Architecture.

GECC (Global Education Communities) has submitted a rezoning application for a site they own at the corner of Cambie & 48th in Vancouver.

The site was previously rezoned for a 10-storey, 78-unit market rental project, but was then sold in 2024 to GECC by Casey Weeks and Morgan Iannone of Colliers.

Under the new TOA rezoning policy, a new proposal “GEC Langara” has been brought forward to allow for the development of a 26-storey rental building and includes:

• 182 rental units (20% below market);
• 1,100 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 10.24 FSR; and
• A building height of 261 ft.

The application is being considered under the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy and Cambie Corridor Plan. The application requests consideration of density and height in excess of the existing policies.

The 2024 sale at $17,500,000 equates to $111 per buildable SF.

The architect for the project is Urban Solutions Architecture.
