We have purchased the site, retained the same architect and plan on submitting a new rezoning application very soon.

Good luck with Arno. Make sure your Rezoning Prior-To conditions don't contain language that tries to get you to retain the design intent.

He's fine it just the last thing you want is your Rezoning Conditions to hold you to a design intent that you cannot deliver in a cost effective way years down the line for a rental building with below-market units.

This is the old proposal for Elm41 by iFortune, that Landa Global says it will redesign
with "an aesthetic that we think it's more fitting for the neighbourhood":

Landa buys Vancouver foreclosure site, plans boutique condo

...
Cheung told RENX his team has no plans to apply to have the site rezoned since permissions are already in place for the property. Landa intends to continue with the current permitted use, albeit with a different, fresh design.

That means Landa intends to construct a four-story boutique condo building with retail/commercial space at street level.

"But our vision is to redesign and recreate a completely different look and an aesthetic that we think it's more fitting for the neighbourhood," Cheung said.

He said the building will have approximately 25 homes.

Building on the success of Château in Shaughnessy and Raphael in Point Grey, Landa is bringing its signature vision of luxury to Kerrisdale. This upcoming boutique development will blend timeless elegance with modern refinement, offering an exclusive collection of homes in one of Vancouver’s most storied neighborhoods. Thoughtfully designed to reflect the charm and prestige of Kerrisdale, Landa Kerrisdale will set a new standard for Westside living. Coming soon.

For the first time in over 17 years a rezoning application has been submitted in First Shaughnessy. With 31 rental townhomes planned at the NE corner of W King Ed & Granville, it’s twice as large as a 2008 building that outraged hundreds of affluent homeowners

The over‐all architectural character of the building follows the contemporary west coast style. Using full brick on the first two levels, provide sturdy finish material on a heavier traffic area. Upper levels will be cladded with Fiber cement board accented with faux wood metal panels.

The Clark Drive housing project

As of Thursday, all but one house was still standing on the site, which is owned by the city.

“We expect to share more details about the project, including the overall funding breakdown and construction schedule, very soon,” the ministry said.

“While we always strive to move our projects ahead as efficiently as possible, projects can be impacted by any number of unanticipated factors including municipal approvals, site conditions, increased development costs, and so on.”

In this case, the ministry said, the project was delayed because of “changes in the municipal approvals schedule and unforeseen design changes required for various approval processes.”

City and provincial government documents show the project was originally priced at $81.8 million in May 2018 and is now anticipated to cost more than $109 million when its doors open sometime in 2026.

Notorious former Vancouver SRO to house Road to Recovery patients, after Beedie purchase

After sitting empty for more than two years, the more than century-old London Hotel on the edge of Vancouver’s Chinatown will soon be housing patients in St. Paul’s Hospital’s Road to Recovery program, Global News has learned.

Members of the local business community said they are hopeful the new tenants will be a good fit for the neighbourhood.

“I’m feeling optimistic,” Vancouver Chinatown BIA president Jordan Eng said in an interview Friday.

In January 2023, Vancouver city council approved a $720,000 grant to the notorious SRO’s operator, Atira Women’s Resource Society, for renovations to the 71 rooms at 208 East Georgia Street.

The City of Vancouver said the grant was never disbursed to Atira as its conditions were not met. The non-profit is no longer the operator of the former London Hotel it said, and Atira’s previous tenants were relocated to other permanent housing.

Can someone explain to me how it makes sense to house “folks that have the most complex substance use disorders, such as substance abuse issues” directly above a bar that is open until 2AM and 2 blocks away from the DTES epicentre of drug dealing?

Are we really trying to help people or is the system just a tax funded merry-go-round?

Surely there has to be a better road to recovery?

Well it's supposed to replace the current system of just having people continually relapse

Just noticed this on OMB's website (they are doing the heritage office addition on Beatty for Reliance) but infill at West 4th and Burrard

Size 39 160 SF
Sited in the Burrard industrial area, the proposed infill at West 4th Avenue looks to introduce high quality housing and vibrant retail spaces to the village district.

The project integrates the robustness and durability of the neighbourhood’s character in a residential typology. The massing is simple and restrained, accented by cantilevering balconies which provide large outdoor spaces for each suite. Bookended by party walls, the envelope has been designed to achieve a high level of performance while using the same cladding at all faces.

Social connections are encouraged with an open-air ground level courtyard and amenity spaces at the roof. The massing of the residential form steps back from the street to provide privacy and quiet from the busy street. omb is providing full architectural and interior design services.

1749 West 4th Ave

Length of Property: 62 (m)

Work Description: Proposed mixed-use 6-storey building up to 3.7 FSR with commercial at grade and residential rentals above.

OMB had a 2020 proposal for an commercial development at 306 Terminal but it looks like Rize is dumping the project.

Vancouver city council approves rental towers on former Safeway site in West Point Grey

Skeena Terrace

Seems like a missed opportunity with that large property to also have market rental. There could have easily been 2000 market rental units as well, partnering with a developer. Probly better to have a more diverse mix of people as well, as opposed to having all social housing.

[jollyburger]

Seems new I think we just saw some rough sketches of the overall massing.

Construction work will only start after the City of Vancouver grants several permits. We currently expect this to be sometime in late 2025. After the Phase 1 buildings are finished, we plan to offer brand-new homes to most – possibly all – current Skeena Terrace tenants.

BC Housing staff will meet with each household affected by the Phase 1 redevelopment to find safe and suitable homes to live in while the new homes are being built.

I mean the 3200 E Broadway project is going to be massive so it's not that bad to have them focus on their niche on the site. (3200 E Broadway three 60 storey towers, three 49 storey towers, four 32 storey towers, 23-storeys, 12 storeys)

Rezoning approved...
Nice that the towers are set back at least a little bit now.
