Please note: this proposal was replaced by a new vision in 2025.
PARC Retirement Living formally proposed a seniors’ independent living rental residence (with a 5% below-market affordable unit count) in an intergenerational community hub at the intersections of Fort, Quadra and Broughton streets.
The proposed hub was comprised of three 10-storey midrises, interconnected by seven-storey bridge buildings. The ten-storey midrises were set back from the street atop a two-storey podium that continued the existing Fort Street appearance and extended onto Quadra Street.
The development site extends from the south mid-800-block of Fort Street to Quadra Street, along Quadra Street between Fort and Broughton streets, and between 846-858 Broughton Street.
The proponent had identified commercial uses that included a small grocery store, a medical walk-in clinic, child care, retail spaces and underground parking. Approximately 10,600 square feet of commercial space was planned within ground floors.
