It's odd that the posse system says: "Application Date: Apr, 16, 2024"

The City must have received it just before June 2023 with the fee paid on June 23, 2023.

EDIT: I missed that they re-submitted in Feb 2024

Just noticed they posted this project on their Instagram back in October 2023.

It's weird someone was selling "453, 461, 469, 477 E10th Ave &
2536, 2540 Guelph St, Vancouver" as a 6 lot assembly in 2022.

Ya 250 feet of frontage is pretty excessive for only, at the time 5.5 FSR.

Actually Colliers had a newer listing minus two lots. Seems like they'll be the only tower on this block.

There will be a maximum of two towers per block (street to street, including any laneways). However, for the northern block faces along 11th Avenue between Yukon Street and Columbia Street, number of towers
per block shall be counted in conjunction with the remainder of the block located in Mount Pleasant South Apartment Area A. For the northern block faces along 10th Avenue between Guelph Street and Carolina Street, only one tower will be allowed on the Mount Pleasant RT Area B block face. Between Cambie and Yukon streets, towers located outside of the Mount Pleasant RT Area B boundaries will not be included in counting the number of towers per block.

one of the new buildings on east Broadway just west of Nanaimo looks like units are being lived in.

Two blocks on Nanaimo just south of Broadway have been recently cleared, all the houses etc gone.

Off to a flying start.

Ahead of the second anniversary of the City of Vancouver’s approval of the Broadway Plan now approaching, there are now a total of 22,469 homes proposed within the six square kilometre area plan spanning about 500 city blocks.

This is the area that will be anchored by SkyTrain Millennium Line’s Broadway extension starting in 2026, with significant residential and job space density forthcoming to turn the area into Vancouver’s second city centre or what is essentially a southward expansion of downtown Vancouver.

According to newly released complete statistics by the municipal government, as of the end of March 2024, a total of 150 projects of all types of uses are in various stages of the development pipeline, including 120 projects with at least some residential uses, with 50 projects being 100% residential use and 67 projects being mixed-use with residential as one of the types of uses.

The mix of the types of homes in the pipeline entails 17,076 secured purpose-built market rental housing units, 3,694 secured purpose-built below-market rental housing units, 1,436 strata condominium units, and 263 social housing units.

Getting really close to the 30,000 target. At this rate that'll be surpassed by the end of this year in proposed units.

[giallo]

Wow. That's a crazy amount of proposals. I hope we see many of them start in 2024.

Here's a panorama of the corridor from Arbutus Station.

Great panorama!

Proposals though are only worth their weight in paper.

Units being built are what matter.

And the majority of them likely not or another few years to break ground, unfortunately. If Public Hearings are removed that could speed things up. I heard some won't have a Hearing until 2025, for those that applied already.


The old MEC site already received their Rezoning Conditions Letter so that's a good sign.

The Broadway Corridor is going way above the 50 000 new residents projection put forth by the City. At the beginning of the thread I used the dt peninsula as a comparable growth model. We will easily add 90 000 people in the next 25 years.

Here's the memo about the Broadway Plan with all the stats in the DH article

The next memo covering Q2 progress is scheduled for July 2024

Public hearings will be done with, soon though for City of Vancouver, I thought? I know it was on a slightly different timeline than other cities because of the Vancouver Charter

I think the Bill to change the Charter is still in 1st reading at the Ledg.

Bill 18 – Vancouver Charter Amendment Act (No. 2)
https://www.leg.bc.ca/parliamentary-...eading/gov18-1

EDIT: The Ledge. schedule says Royal Assent April 25... so I dunno. Sounds like the City-wide OCP needs to be in place first.

As far as I'm aware the provincial legislation in place and public hearings are a thing of the past. Surrey has dropped them entirely but who knows if Vancouver is dragging things out a little longer because of the Vancouver Charter.
