...I don't think Chard is in the business of operating rental housing...the decision to build condos in 800 block of Johnson could simply be related to the lack of a suitable partner to operate the rental housing.
If I am not mistaken, is Chard not looking to partner with BC Housing to facilitate the creation of the 'affordable' Johnson Street units?
...the other, fronting on Johnson Street, will have “affordable” units...Chard is negotiating with B.C. Housing to help finance the affordable units. http://www.timescolo...-way-1.19712760
