The City of Vancouver-owned site was rezoned in 2017 to new I-1A and 1-1B (Industrial) zones in order to support and enable the intensification of digital and technology uses, increasing maximum floor space area ratio (FAR) up to 5:0 FAR with contributions to community amenities (CACs), e.g. affordable housing and heritage.
T3 Mount Pleasant is now in the Design phase with construction to start in 2022.
