I’m seeing a lot of much larger lane way houses both in Oakridge Village (!) / Riley Park and Strathcona and I wonder if they haven’t already decided to move on and beyond troublesome discussions! I don’t understand the concept of selling a lane way house below market value...what are you selling? The lane way house only, the land it’s on as well, or are you making yourself a strata?
Candace, thanks for bringing me up to date. At the moment, laneways must be rental. Perhaps they are building bigger in expectation of a later strata titling? There's no doubt that the combination of laneway + main home would be more valuable as 2 strata units than as 1 home + rental.
As to early approvals, just remember that the 40 storey tower at Broadway and Granville was approved "in anticipation of the Broadway Plan." Please keep monitoring what's going on in your neighbourhood. It's the only way we will prevail.
