Since the Broadway Corridor is going to start seeing a lot of action, it's own thread seems warranted.

Rezoning application for 130 West Broadway.

After eight years of planning, since its acquisition of the property, Reliance Properties has submitted its formal rezoning application for a major mixed-use redevelopment of the former MEC store building on West Broadway.

The mid-block site of 130 West Broadway is about a five-minute walk east of SkyTrain Broadway-City Hall Station, which will become a major regional transit hub in 2025 when the Millennium Line extension meets the Canada Line.

There will be a 328-foot-tall, 30-storey east tower and a 325-foot-tall, 29-storey west tower, including a shared single-storey commercial podium between the towers.

A total of 524 secured market rental homes would be built, including 33 studio units, 287 one-bedroom units, 150 two-bedroom units, and 54 three-bedroom units.

The top floor of each tower is completely dedicated to indoor and outdoor common amenity spaces for residents.

Each tower’s residential floor areas will be served by three elevators, instead of only meeting the required minimum of two elevators. The extra elevator will also have a larger cab to support renters moving in and out, and those with strollers, large equipment, and pets.

About 43,500 sq ft of commercial space will be provided, with most of this space located at ground level, including dedicated space for a grocery store and a cafe.
