Updated Application Information (July 29, 2024)

The City of Vancouver has received updated information related to the application to rezone the former West Point Grey Safeway site from C-2 (Commercial) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The updated proposal is to allow for the development of a 19-storey and 21-storey building and includes:

  • 457 market rental units and 114 moderate income rental units (571 units total);
  • Commercial space on the ground floor, including a grocery store;

  • A floor area of 49,414 sq. m (531,888 sq. ft.); and

These updates are for a previous proposal submitted on November 14, 2023.
