Curious to hear your thoughts. Which area that is currently undergoing (or has recently undergone) planning changes, has the most upside value? That is, where would you be most likely to buy a piece of land or an investment property given future growth trends in the City?

I am pleased to have acted on behalf of the Vendor and Purchaser in the sale of this West End apartment building with laneway housing potential.

Contact me if you’d like to learn more about what’s selling in the West End and about what the new West End Community Plan means for existing apartment properties.

The Central Presbyterian Church in partnership with Bosa Properties has applied to rezone 1155 Thurlow Street from RM-5B  to CD-1 to allow development of a 22-storey mixed-use building including market and non-market rental housing, retail space, a church and a preschool.  The proposal, which precedes the recently adopted West End Community Plan includes:

• proposed density of 9.45 FSR
• proposed floor area of 163,365 SF
• the proposed height of 206.3 ft
• 168 market rental housing units
• 45 non-market rental housing units; and
• 133 parking stalls

The application was made under the Policy on Consideration of Rezoning Applications and Heritage Revitalisations Agreement During Community Planning Processes and the Mayor’s Task Force on Housing Affordability.
