Vancouver and the Squamish Nation have struck an agreement to provide civic services to the Senakw development adjacent to Burrard Bridge.
Set to occupy land that was expropriated from the Squamish Nation more than 100 years ago, the 11-tower, 6,000-unit development is expected to be home to 9,000 people after its planned completion in 2027, which includes provisions for 250 affordable units to be set aside for Squamish families.
First Nations can raise property taxes on reserve land, under provisions of the First Nations Fiscal Management Act, to pay those fees. “The truth is that because it is an on-reserve development, there isn’t a lot of required engagement pieces,” Khelsilem said, adding they will welcome input into the design process.
The plan for the Senakw development in Kitsilano calls for a road at the top of the site, beside or perhaps in Vanier Park. The road would be located north of Parkview Towers, the Y shaped building at 1450 Chestnut.Senakw’s size, however, with buildings reaching as tall as 59 storeys, is something the Kitsilano Point Residents Association argues does give the City a role in negotiating the scope and scale of what goes onto the site.
