Vancouver-based Beedie Living will construct 32-, 34- and 38-storey towers on Spring Street, near the Moody Centre SkyTrain station.
The transformation of Port Moody’s downtown that will dramatically alter its skyline is the city’s “best way forward,” says Mayor Meghan Lahti.
On Tuesday, Feb. 4, council voted 6-1 in favour of a proposal by Vancouver-based developer Beedie Living to construct more than 1,000 new homes in three towers up to 38 storeys as well as a six-storey transitional housing facility, on four parcels of light industrial land along Spring Street.
The 32-, 34- and 38-storey towers are the first in the neighbourhood around the Moody Centre SkyTrain station to be greenlit. Another proposal by Vancouver-based PCI Developments to construct two 39-storey rental towers next to the SkyTrain station is scheduled for a public hearing in March. And on Jan. 2, Anthem Properties submitted a pre-application to the city for a 26-storey rental tower at St. Johns and Williams streets, across from the Moody Centre station.
Tuesday’s decision came after a public hearing that lasted almost three hours and heard from 47 speakers, 31 one of them in favour of Beedie’s project. Of more than 80 comments submitted in writing, two-thirds expressed opposition.
