Recently, an application has been submitted to rezone 1155 Thurlow Street to develop a 22-Storey rental condo with a church on the lower floors as well as a art and community space. The development is being led by the site’s current owners Central Presbyterian Church.

The proposal was designed by Henriquez Partners Architects (known for Woodward’s Redevelopment, Telus Garden, and Granville at 70th), and will include 168 market rental housing units, 45 non-market rental housing units for seniors and 133 parking stalls.
This is all happening on the tail of the recent approval of the West End Community plan that allows for additional density and taller height limits in the neighbourhood.
