Deeply affordable: 20

Development Status
Date of Completion
Fall 2024
The project transformed a vacant parking lot at 545 Cordova Street into a six-storey building containing 20 studio homes on a narrow 25-foot-wide site. After the City of Vancouver received funding through the federal government’s Rapid Housing Initiative Round 2 in November 2021, it partnered with Lookout to expedite the creation of new social housing. By building on Lookout’s pre-development work, the partnership was able to rapidly deploy federal funding and bring much-needed affordable housing online. Lookout operates the building as deeply affordable social housing with integrated support services for residents.
