Innovative Kingsway Housing Experiment Could Trigger A Public Space Boom Across Vancouver

810 Kingsway
The ability to work from home has been a mixed blessing for us. Obviously, I am grateful to have a job, I appreciate the extra time with Darren, and that I can wear pyjamas more often. Yet, I miss my colleagues, our home feels cramped, and online meetings drag on forever. Perhaps that is why those on the Urban Design Panel were disappointed to learn that, despite a planned September check-in, these virtual reviews will continue for the foreseeable future.

Of course, we will eventually overcome this pandemic, and the applicant team believes our friends, families, and communities will be hungry to reconnect with each-other. They also know our city was already critically short on places to do that, so they have proposed something far more than a typical modern Vancouver Special. As usual, these rental homes will sit above commercial spaces, but they will also be connected like no other mid-rise building in our city has been before.
