New West Council Approves 1000 Quayside Drive Project

Two towers will soon stand sentry over the Westminster Quay. City council gave the green light to a proposal from Bosa Properties to construct a 28-storey and 23-storey tower at 1000 Quayside Drive.

The site next to the Inn at the Quay is currently a parking lot. The approval for the 519-unit residential project with 10,000 square feet of commercial space came despite opposition at a public hearing Monday night. Most complained about the project’s height or the traffic congestion it will create.

“If you load this city with these massive megalithic properties you won’t be able to live in this city,” said resident Bob McCullough.

The approval also came despite a petition signed by 56 residents living in the Plaza 88 complex across the railway tracks and Columbia Street from the proposed project. The signatures were collected by Arlene Hudlin who, like McCullough, lives at 898 Carnarvon St.
