Plan for 33-storey tower clears more hurdles.

Despite protests from neighbours to the east and residents directly around the site, a new 33-storey tower straddling the border of Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam received yet another green light Monday.

Coquitlam council unanimously granted second and third readings to a rezoning application designed to accommodate a new development at the corner of Westwood Street and Lincoln Avenue.

The City of Vancouver is holding an open house for 320 Granville Street, a proposed 32-storey office building with a density of 25.5 FSR and 380,000 sq. ft.

The Open House will be a “drop-in” event where you can view the proposal. City staff and the applicant team will be available to answer your questions and receive your comments.
