CBC
27/04/2022 Vancouver approves 39-storey tower for corner of Broadway and Granville Street

Note: I tried and still screwed up the thread title. The rezoning was approved. I couldn't remember what plans and proposals were on hold until the new city council took office.

The previous Council approved the rezoning, and the Development Permit Board approved the detailed design in September. It seemed to make no difference to the developer that they were originally constructing an office building with only one floor of retail, and now there's a second floor grocery store and the residential tower. The Abcellera building in Mount Pleasant were forced to pause while the DP for the larger rezoned building was being processed, but this one seems to have been able to keep going.

It's going to really show up from the north side of False Creek. It's already visible, and they've only just started on the tower.

Maybe it might have something to do with the fact that this one will be incorporating the Broadway-Arbutus Skytrain line extension's South Granville station, and any delays to the overall project would seriously impact the timeline of that particular part of the development(?)

If I recall correctly, the original DP application (Which did not include the residential tower portion or any tower portion and was significantly different) accounted for (and applied for) the possibility of a future tower extension to the project, which was accepted, and now I imagine this is kind of like fast-tracking that phase and bringing the tower part forward in the schedule.

You'd have to imagine any delays or project pauses could potentially impact the opening of the line, which has already been pushed back from a 2025 to a 2026 opening.

Yes! A thread for the South Granville Station Building!

The base is looking imposing. I'll try to get out there with the drone after Xmas.

Thanks for starting the thread!

Once it gets built it will be a good placeholder for what the future of Broadway will look like.

They must have designed and built it for the tower, fingers crossed they'd get the tower approval.

Has there ever been any building in Vancouver where their design got changed mid-construction like this?

^The tower is approved.

I think it was more of a paperwork thing to submit the building as the office podium stub versus something actually changing with the design.

I think the biggest design change that ever happened mid-construction was the Wall Centre glass fiasco

i didn't know there was a ~40 level tower attached to this. i thought it was only the 5 level portion.

The penthouse suite on this tower will never (never say never, ok at the very least the next 100 years) have an obstructed view of Downtown and mountains... I'll buy it :)

Sorry, you won't be able to. It's a rental tower.

Then he'd have to buy the whole building!

I thought of that, but I'm not sure a 6/49 win would cover it. He can choose which supermarket to shop in, and it's pretty convenient for transit too.

Well then Zep wouldn't even need the penthouse, just install webcams on the roof!

This is something unimaginable only a few years ago, especially along the Broadway corridor. I'm glad things are changing and the barriers that impede Vancouver's large developments are slowly being taken down.

They’ve installed one piece of the podium facade/glass on the fourth floor fronting Broadway. It looks pretty cool and shows the colour scheme. It’s visible in bepositive’s first photo of this thread, just zoom in a bit.

Can't you also see it in the 2nd and 3rd photos? Is it that rectangular frame?
