GWL Realty Advisors to Bring Rental Residential to False Creek’s Emerging Health District

Our client, GWL Realty Advisors (GWLRA), has proposed a mixed-use development at 1220 Station Street in Vancouver. The project features secured market rental, below-market rental, and furnished rental housing, alongside office space and retail amenities. Designed to address the diverse needs of the emerging health district in False Creek Flats, the development integrates residential housing, office spaces, and retail facilities.

The site is one block from the new St. Paul’s Hospital and is adjacent to the Main Street-Science World SkyTrain Station, which is the main public transit node for the city’s new healthcare district. To facilitate this proposal, GWLRA has submitted a rezoning application to the City of Vancouver.

The proposed development includes two towers of up to 28 storeys above a commercial podium that can accommodate a grocery store, as well as office space for medical or lab uses. The project will include approximately 400 rental homes, ranging from studios to four-bedroom units. The 1220 Station Street site is bound by Terminal Avenue to the south and Pacific Central Station to the north.

To fulfil this vision and deliver on the City and the Province’s goals for increased density around SkyTrain stations, GWLRA has requested rezoning of the property from its current office-use designation to mixed-use.
