Since October 2020, GVFB has been able to secure the lease of two locations at 1428 Charles Street and 1405 Thornton Street, which are separate industrial locations in and near the False Creek Flats.
For the Charles Street site, this is a temporary 10,000 sq ft space offered for free by LowTide Properties, which needs the space back in June 2021 as they have other plans for the property.
LowTide Properties had intended to apply for a development permit application on behalf of the food bank, but during the pre-application stage a city building inspector had mandated four conditions for compliance.

Such a space is needed as the food bank needs to vacate the existing temporary 10,000 sq ft space donated by LowTide Properties later this spring. The food bank has been using the free space since October 2020, but the developer now has plans for the building starting in June 2020.
The new replacement space would ideally be available for the food bank’s use for one or two years, and ideally within Vancouver, given that 60% of its recipients live in the city.
“The City of Vancouver, to date, has been unable to help us find a location, so we have to take matters into our own hands as the need is imminent. The summer will be here before we know it,” said David Long, the CEO of the GVFB, in a statement.

The unnamed tower will have 125 units which will be targeted at first home buyers and new residents who have recently left Sydney and Melbourne. Jinding, which is based in Melbourne and has offices in Sydney, Brisbane and China, is aiming to begin construction in 2022 ahead of a planned opening in early 2024.
