What's being proposed?

Applications for Rezoning and a Special Development Permit have been received for the properties at 810 Agnes Street and 815 to 821 Victoria Street. These applications propose the development of a 33-storey high-rise tower with 352 secured market rental housing units and an overall floor space ratio (FSR) of 9.40.

The development would also include:

  • the design and construction of an adjacent community park at 824 Agnes Street, which is currently used for a temporary off-leash dog area;
  • a publically-accessible, City-owned indoor community space (312 square metres / 3,350 square feet) located on the subject property and co-located with the community park; and
  • an enhanced streetscape and pedestrian treatment on Victoria Street.

This application was originally submitted in 2017, but the site has recently changed ownership. While the general site plan remains similar to what was previously proposed, the tower is now proposed as market rental housing instead of the condos for purchase in the previous plan. Some revisions are included to accommodate this change from strata units to secured rentals. These changes are summarized below:


Currently ProposedPrevious
Units352 market rental units222 stratified units (condos for purchase)
Density9.40 FSR7.20 FSR
Height33 storeys29 storeys
Floorplate706 square meters (7,600 sq.ft.)617 square meters (6,650 sq.ft.)


The development proposes to reduce the required number of parking spaces from 262 to 169 spaces, which represents a reduction of 35.5% or 93 parking spaces. In lieu, the plan proposes to provide the following transportation demand management measures:

  • increase bicycle parking (from 528 to 550 spaces)
  • separate bicycle entrance and lobby for increased accessibility
  • unbundling parking spaces from units for flexibility
  • subsidized transit passes for residents
  • welcome brochure & active modes guide for new residents

How can I engage?

Consultation for this project has now concluded. Click here for a summary of the City-led Consultation, which took place in March and April 2023.

There are opportunities for the public to provide feedback through the application review process. The process typically includes review by City committees and City-led consultation. The review process is iterative and revisions are considered, based on consultation feedback, throughout the process.

City-led consultation on the revised plan was active through April 5, 2023. The City-led consultation is intended to offer the opportunity for public input before the project proposal is finalized and presented to Council for consideration of approval.

This City-led consultation may potentially take the place of the Public Hearing. When Council considers this project for approval, anticipated in spring 2023, they will decide if a Public Hearing is needed. To provide feedback on the revised plans, please complete the survey below on this page.

The final staff report to Council will include a summary of the feedback received during both the applicant and City-led consultation processes, as well as any feedback submitted directly to staff during the project review process. This report will be posted on this page once it is available.

    Thank you for your question regarding this proposal. The application is consistent with the City’s Family Friendly Housing Policy, which requires that a minimum of 30% of units be two- and three-bedroom units. The policy further requires multiple unit rental projects to provide a minimum of 5% three-bedroom units and all other projects to provide a minimum of 10% three-bedroom units. As this project is a secured market rental housing proposal, it requires a minimum of 5% three-bedroom and 25% two-bedroom units. This proposal includes 5.4% three-bedroom units (19 units) and 32.7% two-bedroom units (115 units) for a total of 38.1% two- and three-bedroom units, exceeding these minimum requirements.
