North Shore News: “Split City of North Vancouver Council Gives Hollyburn Tower Approval”

NORTH VANCOUVER, B.C. The City of North Vancouver council approved a 187-foot, 144-unit rental project in Central Lonsdale on Monday. With a vacancy rate of only 0.4%, rental housing is in desperate need in North Vancouver.

There was strong support for the project among residents of the neighbouring Bridgewater project on 14th Street, North Vancouver’s Chamber of Commerce, the Lower Lonsdale Business Association, and Phil Chapman, retired planner with the District of North Vancouver.
