The proposal is to allow for the development of an 18-storey residential building that will become the ‘East Tower’ phase of the larger overall project and includes:
211 rental units (including 42 below market rental units);
78 studios, 59 one-bedrooms & 74 two-bedrooms.
A total density of 6.73 FSR;
A building height of 201 ft. with an additional partial storey for a rooftop amenity space;

A partnership between Marcon and Quadreal have submitted a development application for the Chrysler dealership site in the Coquitlam Centre area for a new high density mixed use project dubbed “Coquitlam Central“.
The 12 acre site is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of Lougheed Highway and Pinetree Way, at the unofficial entrance to Coquitlam Centre.
The project is divided into two phases – a north and south phase.
Phase 1 – North Side has an urban character and Is anticipated to be builin a single phase (i.e., no sub phases), although the building permits for each tower will likely be phased; and
Phase 2 – South Side has a residential character and will be built in
multiple sub phases, in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the NW corner of Phase 2 and completing at the NE corner.

The project team will prepare the application for the first round of public engagement, through a virtual (digital) Public Information Meeting. Following the first round of public engagement and additional refinement, the project will be brought back to a minimum of one future Council-in-Committee meeting and another round of public engagement. The applicant will then refine the master development plan and development agreement, in effort to bring the application forward for consideration of First Reading. Given the scope of the project and the host of elements to be addressed. It is estimated that the application could proceed for consideration of First Reading sometime in mid-2022.
815 Hornby Street, a 6-storey office building at Hornby and Robson, has sold to Reliance Properties for $93,000,000. The 62,000 sq ft. B-class office building sits on a prime 18,660 sq ft. site that can be redeveloped to a greater density for a commercial or mixed-use highrise in the future.
The property was not publicly offered for sale, but offers were entertained from multiple buyers.
The building had been owned by the same family since 1990.
