What happened
The project's rezoning was approved by Vancouver City Council at a public hearing on February 26, 2026. The application currently pending is for a development permit required under Council’s rezoning decision.
The details
The application description on the City of Vancouver site lists an approximate floor area of 2,556 m² (27,512 sq.ft.) and an approximate height of 21.9 m (72 ft.). The submission also notes parking and loading would be accessed from the lane.
Why it matters
The proposal is for social housing, comprising 55 homes across up to six storeys, which establishes the project’s scale and intended use as stated in the city application record. Council has already approved the rezoning, and one of the conditions of that approval is that the applicant obtain a development permit — the current item on file — so the matter remains at the development-permit review stage according to the official record.
