This property has now been returned to Robbins for use as a parking lot for the time being. With that in mind, I gather this proposal is nowhere close to being approved.

Never mind approved, they don't even have a rezoning application in with the City yet!

Far too close to the Juan de Fuca fault line, anyways. Wouldn't want those full-floor suites to be damaged in any major earthquake event.

It’s still quite early yet. The proposal is making its way through the pre-application process. It’ll be very high end with industry-leading materials.
Know it all.

They would need a strategy to work with the affordable housing requirement. 20% of 21 units would be just over 4.2 units.

Under 60 units is cash-in-lieu, though I'm not sure what the rate is or if it's established through a land lift analysis

The developer assures me this is not a dead proposal. Just working through the system.

Yes, it's well underway behind the scenes. It's quite a complex project by the sounds of it and its still in the early pre-application phase with municipal planners.

In the race of Harris Green two-phase buildings that share a parkade, which do we suspect will get underway first...The Ventana or 1088 Johnson?
I asked David Jawl back in the summer if he knew timelines for 1088 being it's across from his firehall project, but he was unsure.

Incorrect. Nobody accepted the bet.

For the sheer novelty of that experience I would have contributed to the fund.
