13 hotels in Downtown Eastside to be renovated

13 hotels in Downtown Eastside to be renovated.

A multimillion-dollar restoration will soon begin for 13 rundown hotels in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

The B.C. government announced Habitat Housing Initiative has been selected to renovate the single-room-occupancy buildings.

The hotels are more than 100 years old and need structural, plumbing and electrical updates.

The buildings were bought by the B.C. government over the past five years and are home to some of the province’s poorest residents.

Other accommodations will be supplied for people who need to move out during the reconstruction, and the government says they will all have the right to return to their own units when the work is finished.

The provincial government is contributing more than $87 million for the projects, plus more funding for a 15-year maintenance period, while the federal government will contribute $29 million for the work.

Safeway site plan gets hearing.

What could be one of the most ambitious development projects in the City of North Vancouver’s recent history is going to the public for consideration.

Despite a substantial list of concerns with Onni’s proposal for two condo towers atop commercial and retail space at the Safeway site at Lonsdale Avenue and 13th Street, council voted 5-2 in favour of sending the project for public feedback on Monday night.
