Illustrative photoA Kitsilano rental tower project on West First Avenue could rise to 26 storeys and include 99 hotel rooms, Vancouver Is Awesome reported.
A developer is looking to increase the building's height, and the proposal would add the hotel rooms to the rental project. The site falls under the Broadway plan.
For people in Kitsilano, the change would mean a taller building on West First Avenue and a hotel operating within a project that began as rental housing. Both would shape how the block looks and is used day to day.
The initial report did not say what height the tower is currently planned at, how many rental homes it includes or which company is behind it. Those details will determine how big a change 26 storeys and a hotel represent for the project.
