Finally....Travelodge redevelopment is approved!

I'm pleased to report that after many years of planning, on Monday night, the District of North Vancouver Council voted (with Lisa Muri opposed) in favour of fourth reading of the rezoning bylaw for the Travelodge property near Capilano & Marine....to allow a mix of 330 market condominiums, affordable rental, market rental homes. The development also includes rent-to-own & locals first housing programs, a passive house below market development, and fossil-fuel-free homes. 

Thanks to the mayor and three councillors who supported this application over the past two years.

Thanks also to Kevin Zhang and Jennifer Paton of the District of North Vancouver Planning Department and the Marvel Group (Rahim and Sara Fakhari and Oguz Istif) for their faith in our team, including IBI Architects, Connect Landscape, Aplin and Martin, Max Carroll of Lawson Lundell and Bennett Survey and others who helped prepare a lot of last-minute documents.
