Planning/Pre-Development
A proposal to redevelop the properties at 2406-2484 Renfrew Street, at the northeast corner of East Broadway and Renfrew Street, Vancouver. This project, subject to Vancouver Mayor & City Council approval, seeks to construct a 15 storey mixed-use rental building, inclusive of the top floor amenity space, under the City’s Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program (MIRHPP) and is comprised of market and moderate-income rental homes and new retail at street level. The proposal will increase secured housing supply with the creation of 180 new homes for the community.
Situated at the corner of Broadway and Renfrew Street, the site will retain a retail presence along Broadway to support the existing businesses to the east, as well as the Broadway Tech Centre to the south. Combined with the residents of the building, the proposal will bring more life to this corner and support the community with more affordable rental housing options and renewed retail options.
The proposed site is approximately 35,000 square feet in size and encompasses the entire block along Renfrew Street between East 8th Avenue to the north and East Broadway to the south. The site is currently occupied with 6 single-family homes, and a single-storey office building occupying the southern-most lot. A lane runs through the rear of the properties, along the eastern portion of the site.
The proposal consists of a 15-storey rental building, including an expansive top floor indoor and outdoor amenity space, on the southern portion of the site fronting Broadway and a 6-storey rental building that will extend along Renfrew Street.
The site is located approximately a 5-minute walk away from Renfrew Station, and will connect residents to centres of employment like Downtown or Broadway in under 30 minutes by transit. The Broadway Tech Hub is immediately south and will allow residents who work at the facility to have a less than 5-minute commute on foot.
