Great uptake on the commercial retail space!

^^ Boardwalk Fries Burgers Shakes opening in 2529 Renfrew in the Renfrew Quarters building

DAMN .... speaking about 2484 Renfrew St. (thx for the pics today btw) but it is now going to be TWICE the size and will really change this area quickly!

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/2406...vised-openform




According to their newly submitted rezoning application, they are now pursuing a 318-ft-tall, 31-storey tower — nearly double the height of the previous design — plus a partial rooftop floor with shared indoor and outdoor amenities. The six-storey building, plus a partial rooftop floor with shared indoor and outdoor amenities, has also been retained.

This revised project will now generate 344 secured purpose-built market rental homes, which is almost double the tally of the previous design. The unit size mix is 103 studio units, 108 one-bedroom units, 126 two-bedroom units, and seven three-bedroom units.

Thanks for the article. Actually looks decent now with added height. More pics from the site:

A little early for an update but personally can't wait for this project.
Most stores here have closed down and one was clearing out.

Why did that project stall out for so long?

[logan5]

I know those buildings along Kingsway shown in those pictures look run down, but it doesn't take much to spruce up those facades, and add a lot of visual interest and retain the fine grain. The new retail units are too generic (as usual).

The density will be welcome though, and overall, improve that intersection. There's some older retail further down Kingsway that will benefit from all the new residents coming to the area.

Buildings along Kingsway and Victoria definitely need some exterior renovations..

It was approved less than 6 months ago, with conditions.

"The Director of Planning approved the application on June 17, 2025, subject to conditions. A Development Permit may be issued once all conditions have been satisfied."

The building was city vacant and hollowed out for much longer than that.

There was a 2019 four storey project that didn't go ahead. The six storey building that's being built now was only submitted this year.

There has been a couple of significant retail reno's. This one at 700 Kingsway, which is a sizable space, and 776 Kingsway, which is one of the nicer retail buildings in the city.

There's already a good cluster of restaurants along the 15th Ave triangle, so as the density builds up, other restaurants and bars will move in to feed off of the established synergies. It'll be a vibrant area in 10 years.

They get a DCL waiver with this increase?

https://guidelines.vancouver.ca/bull...e-programs.pdf

3362-3384 Vanness Ave and 3347 Clive Ave text

The City of Vancouver has received an application to amend CD-1 (899) (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is to:

Increase the proportion of below-market rental housing from 10% to 20% of the residential floor area; and

Convert the previously secured City-owned childcare facility to private ownership.

https://www.shapeyourcity.ca/3362-33...47-clive-ave-3

Based on rates in effect as of September 30, 2023 and the proposed 32,413 sq. m (348,891 sq.
ft.) of residential floor area and 8,103 sq. m (87,220 sq. ft.) of commercial floor area, DCLs are
estimated to be $14,868,820.

Interesting… they just renovated their location at 4th and Vine so I guess they feel there’s enough of a market for both?
