A million square feet for new housing, commerce eyed in draft plan for Vancouver’s False Creek South
by Carlito Pablo on January 29th, 2020
The False Creek South Neighbourhood Association has released a draft plan for the development of the Vancouver waterfront community.
The plan calls for more than a million square feet for new housing and commercial spaces in one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in the city.
The draft also envisions gradual infill development in the 55-hectare enclave located between the Burrard and Cambie bridges in the Fairview area.
False Creek South is an urban planning success that has transformed a former industrial area into mixed-income community ringed by a seawall and blessed with extensive greenery.
The City of Vancouver owns 80 percent of the land in False Creek South, which were leased to tenants when the area was being built during the 1970s and 1980s.
