The City of Vancouver has received a revised proposal to rezone 800-876 Granville Street to allow the development of a 43-storey (north) and 39-storey (south) mixed-use building. This proposal includes:

  • A building height of 137.5 m (451 ft.) (north tower) and 120.4 m (395 ft.) (south tower);
  • A total floor space ratio (FSR) of 14.5;
  • A floor area of 64,641 sq. m (695,789 sq. ft.) which includes:
    • Retention of the Commodore Ballroom and Lanes;
    • Façade retention of the four heritage buildings;
    • Commercial uses on levels one to five;
    • Hotel use on levels six to eight in the north building;
    • Approximately 15,000 sq. ft. of single room accommodation (SRA) located in the south building; and
    • Approximately 455,000 sq. ft. of rental residential floor area contained within both towers.

The site is located in sub-area 'K1' of the Downtown Official Development Plan (DODP). The application requests consideration of height and density in excess of the existing policy, which is being reviewed concurrently with the Granville Street Planning Program. Sub-area 'K1' allows a maximum height of 27.4 m (90 ft.) and a maximum density of 3.5 FSR. Amendments to the Downtown Official Development Plan would also be required to enable this project.

The site includes a number of heritage properties, which are subject to the Heritage Policies. The application proposes primarily façade-only retention for four heritage properties on site, along with the complete retention of the Commodore Ballroom.

The site includes the State Hotel at 872-876 Granville Street, which is a registered Single Room Accommodation (SRA) building containing approximately 73 vacant units. The building is subject to the City's Single Room Accommodation By-law.

Application drawings and statistics on this webpage are posted as-submitted to the City. Following staff review, the final project statistics are documented within the referral report.
