PARC Retirement Living is proposing 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 will be comprised of three 10-storey midrises, interconnected by seven-storey bridge buildings. The ten-storey midrises will be setback from the street on a two-storey podium that continues the existing Fort Street appearance and extends 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 has identified commercial uses that include a small grocery store, a medical walk-in clinic, child care, retail space and underground parking. Approximately 10,600 square feet of commercial space will be built along the two building's ground floors.

It's approaching 6 years since this development was first proposed and nothing has been approved.

At this rate, today's kindergarteners may not live long enough to reside here. Is there a housing "crisis" or not?

They had a bit of a rough go before the city. It could be a long while yet before something happens here.
