On the eve this election year, city council came together in a rare occasion to approve a new, streamlined version of the Secured Rental Policy. That sparked a flurry of rental housing proposals across the city, which joined the continued boom of activity around the Oakridge Centre. However, with interest rates rising, and many proposals still undergoing review at the rezoning stage, it’s far too early for Hannah and I to say how many will actually materialize in the years ahead.
| Project Status | Pin |
| Rezoning application, submitted or approved | Red Square – □ |
| Development application submitted, approved, or issued | Yellow Star – ✰ |
| Stage 1 building permit submitted, approved, or construction underway | Purple Hammer – 🔨 |
| Construction complete, occupancy permitted | Green check mark – ✓ |
| Application has been rejected, or withdrawn | Black X – ✖ |
| Project stalled (colour indicates at what stage) | Triangle with ! – △ |
| Master plan – Approved | Blue House – 🏠 |
The spreadsheet below includes the details, and timeline for every rezoning application for this time frame from when it was first submitted up until our most recent update. This will eventually include all notable dates in the rezoning, development application, and the building permit stage, along with details about what each project sought to provide. Obviously we note when/if something was rejected or withdrawn, as well as when buildings complete construction and are ready for occupancy in a few years.
It’s important to note that each of these steps represents a negotiation between our city officials, as well as private, and/or public developers. As such, the review process can grind to a halt simply because an applicant team is unable, or unwilling to move ahead with their vision at that point in time.

All of these addresses, and permit numbers link to Vancouver’s Shape Your City website, except for the building permit address, which are located in the city’s permit directory.
