OUR ROLE
With the subject site in a community anchored by the region’s most significant rapid transit interchange, Brightside Community Homes Foundation is looking to provide a mix of community oriented affordable housing choices in an increasingly unaffordable housing market. As a result, Brightside engaged Colliers International Consulting (CIC) to provide development management services and act as Owner’s Representative in the execution of this redevelopment project. To date, CIC has conducted a development feasibility on the site to ensure the development’s alignment with current and potential zoning as well as market considerations. Additionally, CIC has assembled a team of design consultants and as a team, have submitted a Letter of Enquiry with the City of Vancouver for the redevelopment. CIC will continue to work towards the final design of the project and the pre-development funding application process.
