Nicola Wealth Real Estate has submitted a proposal to the City of Vancouver for a twin rental tower project at 2111 Main Street
The proposed development site is located between East 5th Avenue and East 6th Avenue on Main Street. Historically, the site housed the City Centre Motor Hotel, built in 1954. After Nicola Wealth Real Estate’s acquisition of the property in 2021, it was temporarily repurposed as the City Centre Artist Lodge. The property is currently valued at $43,973,000.
The development application involves rezoning the site from IC-1 (Industrial) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. This change would be necessary to accommodate the proposed mixed-use buildings and aligns with the Vancouver Green Buildings Policy for Rezoning and the Vancouver Building Bylaw 2019, focusing on energy and emissions performance.

Templar Tsang-Trinaistich, director of the city's rezoning centre, explained during Tuesday's public hearing that any development applications for the neighbourhood would still go through a review process with city staff, despite the changes to the neighbourhood's development plan.
