Vancouverites Discussing Massive Langara Gardens Redevelopment Project
Public consultations have begun on a neighbourhood rental-housing redevelopment in Vancouver’s Oakridge area.
If all goes according to plan, Vancouver-based Concert properties will redevelop the Langara Gardens apartments into a 2.8-million-square-foot site. The revised property would include 430 social housing units; 760 rental suites, including 85 below-market residences and about 1,430 strata homes.
Four existing 18-storey apartment buildings are to be retained. New buildings would range from three to 36 storeys, according to a rezoning application submitted to the City of Vancouver.
Concert is seeking municipal approval of a phased master plan. A community information session will be held Monday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Langara College. The city is accepting public comments until October 29.
Several new commercial real estate projects, including multi-family developments, are underway in the Oakridge area as QuadReal’s Oakridge mall undergoes a large-scale redevelopment that will take years to complete. In September, the federal government invested $107.5 million in the 215-unit W42 apartment building now under construction in Oakridge.
