A vacant patch of land near downtown could become the home of two new condo buildings and a public square.

A 91-unit multi-family development on neighbouring properties located at 155 Fry and 150 Esplanade is going to a public hearing tonight, Nov. 7.

Submitted by D-Architecture on behalf of a numbered B.C. company, the proposed development consists of two five-storey buildings. One building will have 55 units of residential and 287 square metres of ground floor commercial space, while the other building is designed to include 36 residential units and no commercial space.

Long-awaited Nanaimo hotel to finally begin construction

Last Updated Monday, December 30, 2019 6:06PM PST

NANAIMO -- After over a decade of planning and two failed attempts to start development, the Vancouver Island Conference Centre hotel in downtown Nanaimo will finally begin construction of its new building.

Fencing has gone up and an excavator is on-site clearing the area in preparation for construction of a hotel that was first conceived of 11 years ago.

The city of Nanaimo says the project, the Courtyard by Marriot Hotel, is overseen by Utah-based developer, PEG Companies. The building is set to become a nine-storey, 172 room hotel and cost over $21-million to build.

“We are very excited to get this project underway,” says Bill Corsan, director of community development for the City of Nanaimo.

“It’s been over a decade trying to get the hotel project going in Nanaimo.”

The hotel was originally supposed to be built in 2008 by the same developer that built the Vancouver Island Conference Centre, which opened that year. However, the developer went bankrupt after the markets crashed 11 years ago.

After the first failed attempt at construction, Chinese developer SSS Manhoa planned to build a highrise hotel on the property in 2013. However, the city says that development never came to fruition.

Four years later, PEG Companies, in June 2017, was selected by council to develop the property.

Construction is now set to begin in early January and will take approximately 18 months to complete. The Courtyard by Marriot is expected to open in the summer of 2021.

Isn't the Coast Bastion Hotel already attached to the conference center?

I was in town for Christmas and drove by and saw the fence and excavator. I was wondering if that had been there a while. Glad it is going finally

It’s too bad that it is only going to be 9 stories.

It's not hard, you just go up to the URL of any webpage, click on it so it's highlighted then right click on "copy", then come to this thread and when you post, simply right click again on "paste" and the URL will appear like this:

Holy Shit! Nanaimo's previous building permit record was $240 million in 2017, last year they approved almost double that of $445 million in building permits

Here's a rendering I found as part of the Harbourview development. Apparently the buildings towards the right side of the image are already under construction or in sales.

That's a pretty cool development proposal for Nanaimo.

What ever happened to this Hilton Hotel plan?

That Hilton Hotel project died years ago, instead Nanaimo's getting a 9 story hotel across from the conference center which should be well on it's way to being built: https://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/c...gins-1.4842887

Telus, Omicron bid to join Nanaimo rental-building boom

Telus and partner Omicron, both based in Vancouver, are proposing a $70-million project with 197 rental units in Nanaimo’s Old City Quarter as public and private sector investment indicates the city’s construction sector is already shaping up to have another strong year.

“We are seeing a trend this year toward public investment,” Jeremy Holm, Nanaimo’s director of development approvals, said Tuesday.

Despite the pandemic, Holm anticipates this year’s building permit value will be similar to 2020 which reached $243 million. Of that, $203.8 million went to residential construction.

Up to 65 per cent of new housing is being built as rental to respond to demand, Holm said.

Interest in investing in Nanaimo is coming from off-Island developers, including Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, he said.

Construction continues at 100 Gordon St. in downtown Nanaimo where Utah-based PEG Development is building a nine-storey hotel on what had been city land. It will add 172 hotel rooms to the core.

Public monies are being invested in a new $157-million Nanaimo Correctional Centre. An intensive care unit at ­Nanaimo Regional General Hospital has a construction value $21.3 million. A $10 million building permit has been taken out for the city’s new fire hall and school upgrades are on the agenda.

B.C. and Nanaimo announced in mid-2020 that they are partnering to bring more than 300 affordable rental homes for individuals, seniors and families, as well as new permanent, purpose-built supportive housing for those without homes.

Nanaimo’s Mid-Town Gateway Project to ease traffic congestion and improve safety at Bowen and Northfield roads is sparking investment.

The city agreed to sell surplus lands to Island West Coast Developments which is planning a $75 million project with a 175-unit housing development, grocery store, and retail and office space.

“That’s pretty significant. It is quite an addition to that area and a big transportation network improvement,” Holm said. “We can see it triggering off quite a bit of development in that area.”

It will be the first significant commercial and multi-use project in recent times in that part of the city, he said. Holm expects a rezoning application will be submitted to the city shortly.

Residential projects already underway or in the application and planning stages include social housing and seniors units, rental and condominiums in multi-family buildings, and single-family homes, often with secondary suites.

“We’re are hopeful that there is a balanced investment in ­projects that will support all the housing needs across the ­continuum,” Holm said.

The Telus Living Nanaimo proposal would be one of the city’s largest rental project, Holm said. Up to 500 residents would live at 400 Fitzwilliam St.

This proposal would see 1.75 acres subdivided off Telus’ existing 2.75-acre property, where it has its Nanaimo office. Development permit and subdivision approvals are needed.

Units would rent at market rates, not yet set, said Pablo Yuste, architect and principal at Omicron, which is providing development management, design, engineering, and construction management.

“This project is strategically focused at the middle rental market as this is the area that is currently underserved,” he said in an email.

The proposed two six-storey buildings, covering 164,000 square feet, would be connected through landscaping. Features include accessible and adaptable units allowing tenants to age in place. It would also have chargers for electric vehicles and infrastructure for future installation.

Construction cost is pegged at $50 million, with the remaining $20 million going to other project-related costs, Yuste said.

Nanaimo would receive $2 million in development fees and the project is expected to create between 650 to 700 jobs.

Omicron is hoping for development permit approval this spring. Construction would take approximately 24 to 30 months, he said.

Other housing projects include a two-building, 79-unit development on Haliburton Street on the city’s south end by Parkshore Projects Ltd. Approved in January 2021, it follows a similar project next door by the same developer. A private 149-unit seniors housing project is also planned, subject to development permit approval, in the old city area.

Two five-storey residential buildings approved for Haliburton Street

A new 79-unit residential complex has been approved for Nanaimo’s south end.

Nanaimo city council, at a meeting Monday, unanimously approved issuing a development permit for two five-storey buildings on the northeast corner of Haliburton and Milton streets.

The buildings, situated over six existing lots and connected by underground parking, qualify for density bonusing and will come in close to the maximum density allowed under zoning.

Both buildings will include a mix of two-bedroom, one-bedroom and studio suites for a total of 45 one-bedroom units, 21 two-bedroom units and 13 studios.

A city staff report notes that “the site design takes advantage of its location by orienting the buildings along Haliburton Street and providing views toward the ocean.” Staff says the building design “meets the intent” of the South End Neighbourhood Plan’s design guidelines, with brick, metal cladding and reclaimed wood utilized.

“The vertical massing is broken up with articulation above the third storey on each building and prominent rooflines,” the report notes, adding that the fourth and fifth floors are set back “to reduce the vertical presence.”

Coun. Tyler Brown, who sits on the city’s design advisory panel, told councillors that the project came to that table twice as the panel requested “significant” changes.

“I think the applicant responded to them very well, in particular the step back after the third storey to better reflect the community design guidelines in the [neighbourhood] plan,” Brown said.
