Future Waterfront Station precinct and #Gastown railyard #redevelopment an incredible opportunity, says #Vancouver mayor Hruda is an architect and the founder and president of #Vancouver-based CIVITAS Studio: Urban Design and Planning. The company has performed major master planning work for significant district and neighbourhood projects worldwide. Some of its most prominent local work includes the urban planning for Coal Harbour, Vancouver Convention Centre’s West Building, and Northeast False Creek. Working with former #Vancouver chief urban planner Larry Beasley, Hruda’s team recently produced an unsolicited urban planning case study for transforming the entire #waterfront area north of #Gastown between #Canada Place and Crab Park’s eastern edge bordering Main Street. Hruda believes the potential of transforming the Gastown railyard within the Central Waterfront east of Canada Place could be similar to the transformation achieved for the Coal Harbour waterfront two decades ago when it was also a railyard.

Three new #mixed-use concepts for #Vancouver City Hall #redevelopment A new City Hall is being eyed as it would significantly reduce the municipal government’s lease expenses for privately owned #office space at market rents, resulting in major cost savings over the long term. With a wide mix of major uses beyond City Hall functions, it could also be a revenue-generating opportunity for the City. Through major upgrades, it would also address the seismic issues of the 1935-built heritage City Hall building at the southern end of the campus fronting West 12th Avenue.

My question for this infrastructure project is how will the people in these condos get to and from their homes as the Yonge street corridor is a narrow strip of road downtown, I think leadership teams are not working together or something is fractured in our municipal governance.

#Vancouver Island portfolio underscores #multifamily opportunities One of the largest portfolios of #Vancouver Island #rental units hit the market in early June, underscoring the opportunities and challenges facing owners. Built by WestUrban Developments Ltd.of Campbell River, the six properties are home to eight buildings with 512 units. The properties include two buildings in #Squamish with 78 units, as well as six in #Campbell #River, #Duncan and #Nanaimo totalling 434 units. The buildings are being offered together or individually. Occupancy of all but one of the buildings took place over the past 18 months, adding to the rarity of the offering.

Always make sure you’re looking at the official plan and what the region that you’re looking to invest in is looking to do. Attend early planning meetings and know what the city is wanting and then you can plan your upcoming projects accordingly. #development #infrastructure #realestate #housing #housingmarket #landscape #citylife #realestateinvesting #realestateinvestor #reno #kitchenerwaterloo #ontariorealestate

The City of Eustis is updating its downtown master plan for the first time since 2008, with priorities placed on expanded parking and redevelopment of the Waterman site and lakefront. https://lnkd.in/eC59nCVk

Transformative Northeast False Creek #development revealed by Concord Pacific More than six years later, Concord Pacifichas now created a far more ambitious and transformative concept for developing its site in Northeast False Creek, which is one of the last major undeveloped waterfront parcels of the downtown #Vancouver peninsula and Concord Pacific’s last remaining undeveloped site from its original acquisition of the Expo ’86 lands. There will now be 12 buildings, including standalone towers and mid-rise base podiums of about 20 storeys, towers between 40 and 50 storeys, and a landmark pair of “Gateway” twin towers at the westernmost edge of the site. The cancelled concept’s tallest towers were also the Gateway towers, previously reaching 41 storeys in height. At 60 storeys each, the Gateway twin towers would become some of the City of Vancouver’s new tallest towers, possibly even the tallest — exceeding the current tallest of the Living Shangri-La Vancouver tower, which stands at 659 ft.

Vancouver's Plaza of Nations has been quietly sold. Its new owner has big plans Vancouver’s Plaza of Nations, a prominent but largely derelict waterfront parcel, has been sold for an undisclosed sum. The price is believed to be several hundreds of millions of dollars. There has been renewed attention on False Creek’s northeast shore — the last undeveloped waterfront piece of the Expo 86 lands — after Concord Pacificunveiled its vision for a massive #development on the land immediately east of the Plaza of Nations. The new owner is called Northchild Group. It is little known here and has no track record of #development in #Vancouver. Concord Pacificsaid last week its 12-tower proposal, which includes 65-storey #skyscrapers — taller than any in #Vancouver — was prompted by city council’s decision last year to relax view-protection policies.
