One of only twenty projects considered under the City of Vancouver Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program, 445 Kingsway Rental Housing is a mixed-use development consisting of a commercial and housing podium topped with two mid-rise residential towers on an irregularly-shaped site adjacent to Robson Park. Located in Translink’s Frequent Transit Network near the future Broadway Subway Mount Pleasant Station, the project aligns with a pattern of development that has evolved along the Uptown Mount Pleasant Kingsway corridor. The transit-oriented development will provide 236 secured rental housing units for the rapidly-growing Mount Pleasant neighbourhood.
