For decades Commercial Drive has remained one of Vancouver’s most iconic and desirable neighbourhoods. Known for its inclusive vibe that welcomes everyone from the most traditional Italian and Portuguese families to free-spirited artists and indigenous groups – it’s also where I spent most of my childhood and continue to enjoy on a social and work basis.
As a Realtor, I am incredibly enthusiastic about the area’s future growth. In 2018, the City approved the Grandview Woodland Community Plan encompassing several distinct neighbourhoods from Clark Drive to Nanaimo, and 12th Avenue to the Port. It’s a plan that strives to meet the needs of low income families, working professionals, and will supply much needed inventory for future generations.
Further to the Outright Duplex Policy across all of Vancouver, this plan provides for broad densification along Broadway, 1st Ave, Nanaimo, and specific “transition areas”. As baby boomers naturally age out of their oversized homes, oversized lots and Land Assemblies provide for Townhome & Condo developments as well as Purpose Built Rentals.
Many areas of the the plan have been “pre-zoned”, providing for relatively faster development timeline than sites that require typical commercial rezoning applications.
