is a real estate development like no other in the city.
Located at 401 Jackson Avenue, the non-profit, Indigenous-owned, community housing development will be the first of its kind in the country. The 13-storey building in the vibrant Strathcona neighbourhood intends to make urban homeownership more accessible to Vancouverites.
“In a market that has priced so many people out of ownership, we’re re-thinking the model to bring ownership within reach of renters and doing so in a way that is so much more than just housing,” says Dr. Dave Baspaly, board member of Aboriginal Land Trust.
