SEFC Outside of the Olympic Village

According to zoning applications for SEFC properties located outside of the Vancouver Olympic Village, there are 14 proposed buildings so far, which will add at least 939 residential units (condos, live/work units and townhouses) to the neighbourhood.

Exact unit totals have not yet been provided for parcels 5 and 7 though, which means that there will probably be an additional 200 to 300 units on these properties, pushing the proposed total over 1,300 residential units.

The breakdown of each parcel is below. Please note that the links opens to pdf files.

  • Parcel 2: 1 building, 13 storeys, 105 units
  • Parcel 3: 1 building, 10 storeys, 90 units
  • Parcel 4: 1 building, 16 storeys, 190 units
  • Parcel 5: 4 buildings, 11-15 storeys
  • Parcel 6: 6 buildings, 4-15 storeys, 404 units
  • Parcel 7: 3 buildings, 6-13 storeys, 150+ units

Parcel 5 is being developed by Wall Financial Corp., and as part of their rezoning application, a new 250-seat studio theatre and production complex will be built for the Playhouse Theatre Company. The City would like the new Playhouse Centre to form the 'cultural anchor' of the SEFC community.

It's also interesting to note that the future 2nd Avenue/Cambie station for the Canada Line will be built just to the west of parcels 2 and 3.

Additionally, plans for the proposed streetcar call for a stop on 1st Avenue, across from the Salt Building.
