November 6, 2013 Vertical Forest Building: Vancouver Approves Modern ProjectHuffington Post on Nov 6, 2013 10:50 PM The Huffington Post B.C. | Posted: 11/05/2013 5:34 pm EST | Updated: 11/05/2013 5:54 pm EST
How would you like to live in a forest?
What if it had four walls, a kitchen, and a comfy bed?
On Oct. 29, Vancouver City Councilapproved the building of a project called The Vertical Forest. Created by Arno Matis Architecture, The Vertical Forest will filter and control light the way an actual forest would, according to a press release.
The building will grow in Mount Pleasant at 2290 Main St. at Kingsway, and is the neighbourhood's first rezoning development project since the Community Plan Implementation Strategy was revised.
"Once a coastal forest, now a bustling urban site, the building... November 6, 2013 DOWNTOWN VANCOUVER’S WEST END COULD SEE ENHANCED RETAIL AREAS, ADDITIONAL DENSITYKenneth Chan on Nov 6, 2013 10:48 PM BY KENNETH CHAN | 5 HOURS AGO |
After eighteen months of public consultation, a draft of the much-anticipated downtown Vancouver West End Community Plan has been created.
The plan maps out the diverse and densely populated community’s 30-year outlook and calls for further housing and retail spaces as well as improved public spaces and facilities. The 112 city block study area accounts for one-third of the area of the downtown Vancouver peninsula and is home to 45,000 residents, 23,000 jobs and millions of annual tourists.
According to the City of Vancouver, “the plan focuses on the physical city, and the functionality of its infrastructure in everyday lives: housing that is often too ... October 26, 2013 BJARKE INGELS’ 52-STOREY LANDMARK VANCOUVER TOWER APPROVED BY CITY COUNCILKenneth Chan on Oct 26, 2013 4:39 PM BY KENNETH CHAN | 1 DAY AGO |
Vancouver City Council has unanimously approved a proposal to build a 497-foot tower designed by world renowned Danish architectural firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) at the north end of the Granville Street Bridge
The speakers at last night’s public hearing, including many local residents, were generally in favour of the project. It likely influenced City Council’s rezoning decision, which came down to a resounding 11-0 “yes” vote giving local developer Westbank Corporation the final stamp of approval it needed to construct the 52-storey tower – the fifth tallest in the city.
The decision also comes after the City of Vancouver’s Urban... October 11, 2013 North Vancouver District approves 61 Maplewood townhouses Anthem Properties scolded for premature demolitionJeremy Shepherd on Oct 11, 2013 4:15 PM Jeremy Shepherd / North Shore News
October 9, 2013 12:00 AM -
Despite one complaint about premature demolition, Anthem Properties has won its bid to build a 61-unit townhouse development at Seymour River Place near Maplewood Farm.
Located south of Mount Seymour Parkway, the development comprises five threestorey buildings consisting primarily of two-and three-bedroom units.
Anthem's decision to tear down the houses on the property before winning its rezoning permit was a slap in the face to the district's democratic process, according to Coun. Lisa Muri.
"I will send a message to all developers in this community that it's not cool to go ahead and tear down homes when a decision has not been made," she said at the Sept.... October 8, 2013 September 2013 Stats released October 2, 2013REBGV on Oct 8, 2013 2:00 PM
