Show Notes

Mayor Ken Sim announced a pilot project featuring two high-rise towers (54 and 40 storeys) at Pacific and Hornby, part of a broader plan to develop city-owned land for market rental housing.

The $600-million project is one of five identified sites, with units aimed at middle-income earners ($90,000–$120,000). Profits will go to the city’s revenue stream.

Guest: Armin Amrolia - Deputy City Manager for the City of Vancouver
