I notice the lot at Larch and 41st which was supposed be elm41 has a "court ordered sale" billboard. The developer is listed as iFortune, are they connected to one of the larger developers like Vivagrand?

Seems like it's just a tiny developer but that relied on foreign investors.

With established offices in Richmond, BC and Markham, ON, iFortune Group has served thousands of clients, completed over 30 real estate projects in the Greater Vancouver Area, and hosted many luxurious VIP activities aimed to establish closer cultural connections.

The report can't be accessed but there was a new case five days ago against IFORTUNE WEST 59 for taxes I think.

Not such a great investment apparently!

Yet another former gas station site destined to remain empty.

Here's an interesting one.

5 storey rental building with retail at grade. Aiming for a potential pilot project for point block access apartment building. Hope it happens.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting. Good to see it's AIRstudio and will be interesting to see what they propose.

Google aerial view shows they were already doing preconstruction with shoring recently.

It's crazy to think that the industrial area of Mount Pleasant will be the best connected transit area of the entire Metro Vancouver area. It's the only neighborhood that will be served by all skytrain lines.

I live in OV and the furthest line from me is the Canada Line @ OV Station.

From Shape's website

South Granville Commercial Mixed-Use
Imagined as a new urban typology, this mixed-use commercial development in the South Granville neighbourhood combines retail, industrial and office uses to create a new form of urban infill. As one of the first projects to be undertaken as part of the City of Vancouver’s Broadway plan, this development will house commercial uses at ground level while providing much needed spaces for work above. Stepped massing along a street frontage provides generous roof gardens and patios that take advantage of spectacular City and mountain views. The building’s massing is configured to create a covered ground level plaza on the street that connects to the main entry lobby on 5th Avenue via shopping promenade, articulating and energizing the adjacent street edges

Typology
Mixed-use, Commercial Retail, Commercial Office, Light Industrial
Status
Completion in 2026
Client
Confidential
Location
Vancouver, BC
Size
19,045 m² / 205,000 ft²
