How high are the buildings proposed?
The original application contemplated 13 towers with 6 of those towers over 26 storeys in height.
Based on recent feedback received, one tower on a site not actively engaged in this application has been removed and the height has been reduced on all other towers to sit at or below 26 storeys, with the exception of 3 towers located immediately adjacent to the Moody Centre rapid transit station at the centre of the Moody Centre community. These three towers are proposed for extra heights to enable the inclusion of rental and social housing close to transit and services.
Additionally, as the master plan will be delivering community amenities identified in the OCP (e.g. daylighting of Dallas/Slaughterhouse Creek, urban transit plaza, a pedestrian overpass to Murray Street), these additional heights will help to offset the costly acquisition and delivery of these amenities.
