Ian, was do you recall of this site was always part of the 5 towers that Westrich planned for development? If so why do they need to change the zoning. Anyone know if the tower palled to the East of this lot has been rezoned previously or if rezoning is still to come?

Also what progress has been made in a name change from Oliver with respect to the name of the community? I see a reference to "Centre City" but does this mean what was Oliver and Downtown (communities)?

Still just 6 eh?

6 storeys is absolutely fine and preferred in my books, but i thought they were looking for up to 18 storeys.

When Westrich changed the plan to 6 storeys previously, it was under the premis that it was purchasing the little apartment/big house directly north of it. But when a deal fell through, they changed their zoning ask to up to 18 storeys and the house they wanted went up for sale. But now that for sale sign is gone. Maybe Westrich reached a deal and is back to its 6 storey plan since it has a larger lot area.

 

[IanO]

Yeah, it's gone back and forth a few times and am actually unsure where it has landed.

I'm sure they will change the name of this building for obvious reasons.

Good community project anyone heard any news on what its current status is or if its moving forward?

It's moving forward according to Westrich when I last spoke to them in May.

Got confirmation from city that this development permit was approved for 6-storeys and 95 units. It's currently open for appeal from area residents that might be opposed.

So they ARE banking on the parking garage becoming a park…? Or a pipe dream still?

 

[IanO]

Pipe at this point, but I could see Westrich 'mavericking' their way into a redevelopment opportunity given their stakes in the hood.

It would make a ton of sense! Too many parking lots in this area, significant density being added, and not a ton of parks in this radius outside of the schoolyard of the catholic school south and then the warehouse/river valley options farther out. Oliver wants more parks!
