Vancouver is looking to redevelop its oldest public housing project into a mixed-use and mixed-income housing development, with at least six times its current density. City officials hope it will be a profitable example for the rest of the province.
"The city's oldest public housing project is headed for a massive redevelopment that will transform it into a mix of private and social housing, with significant anticipated profits for the province."
"It is the first of what some anticipate will become a provincewide approach to replacing postwar social housing and generating money for new projects."
"Vancouver city planning director Brent Toderian confirmed this week that the province has approached the city about a redevelopment for Little Mountain social housing, which would increase the site's density by at least six times, if not more."
"Little Mountain, the oldest social housing project in B.C. and also the one with the least existing housing and most available land, is the first and prime candidate in line for that kind of redevelopment."
