111 Princess Avenue

The excavation has started for another of the City of Vancouver/BC Housing non-market housing projects, this one on the corner of Princess and Alexander. Until a few years ago Marie Gomez Place was here, a smaller non-market housing project from 1983 that suffered from poor building maintenance and management, and with terminal structural issues that saw it finally torn down in 2007.

The new building will have 139 suites on 10 floors, is designed by gBL, and will be operated by PHS Community Services Society.
