Five Residential Towers Proposed for East Vancouver Safeway Property
Crombie and Wesgroup have submitted plans to redevelop a Safeway site in east Vancouver with five residential towers. The proposal includes 1,082 homes, a replacement grocery store, and extra retail space. Vancouver released the rezoning application on Oct. 19 for the Kingsway property near Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station.
Plans from Crombie and Wesgroup would replace a Safeway site in east Vancouver with five residential towers, according to the submitted proposal. The project calls for 1,082 homes, a new grocery store to replace the existing one, and additional retail space. Vancouver made the rezoning application public on Oct. 19 for the Kingsway property near the Joyce-Collingwood SkyTrain station. The filing places a grocery-anchored, transit-adjacent site within the city’s formal rezoning review process; the available summary does not state approval status, timelines, tenure, or affordability details.
The proposal could affect people who shop at the Safeway, nearby residents, and businesses around Joyce-Collingwood station. More homes near transit may add customers for local retail and support station use, while construction and change could bring temporary disruption. How much benefit or strain results may depend on design, affordability, approvals, and timing, which the summary does not specify.
