Crombie REIT and Wesgroup have filed a rezoning application with the City of Vancouver to replace a Safeway and BC Liquor store at 3410 Kingsway with five rental towers and 1,082 homes, Business in Vancouver reported on October 30, 2026.

The application covers a full city block near the bend where Kingsway meets Boundary Road, close to Central Park. The five towers would range from 19 to 29 storeys. Commercial space on the ground floor would include a replacement grocery store so the site keeps its grocery use, the development team's application booklet says.

The site sits within walking distance of the Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station and falls within the province's transit-oriented area, a provincial rule that allows taller buildings near rapid transit. Crombie REIT and Wesgroup said in their application that the current site, with its large surface parking lot, creates a "significant break" in the pedestrian network and acts "as a barrier rather than a connection between neighbourhoods."

**More projects along the corridor**

The Kingsway proposal is the latest in a run of large applications for the strip. Business in Vancouver listed three more:

- The 2400 Court Motel on Kingsway north of 33rd Avenue is proposed for four rental towers of 18 to 28 storeys, plus a social services centre and a 37-space child-care facility. The redevelopment is led by the City's own Vancouver Housing Development Office.
- Coast Mental Health is seeking to build a 29-storey tower at 259-293 East 11th Avenue with 364 social housing units, 17 assisted living units, and space for a community health centre in partnership with Vancouver Coastal Health.
- A 14-storey, 110-unit rental tower at the corner of Fraser Street and East 17th Avenue was approved by Council in November 2023.

**What comes next**

The 3410 Kingsway application is at the earliest stage of the City's rezoning process. City staff and Council must review it, and a public hearing would be scheduled before any Council vote. The outcome and timeline are not yet known.

Residents can follow the application's progress on the City's development portal at vancouver.ca/rezoning. The new Council, which took office on October 20, 2026, will be responsible for reviewing major applications like this one.
