The Downie Street Redevelopment is located at 421 Edward Street and 418 & 422 Downie Street in Revelstoke. The goal is to redevelop this provincially owned property and create a variety of housing options, from low-end of the market, to market rentals for local residents.
The redevelopment will include:
166 new rental homes
Outdoor space for residents
Childcare centre
Three buildings up to four storeys tall
BC Housing will follow all municipal permitting processes and will continue to own the site once complete.
Housing type: Redevelopment
New purpose-built rental housing provides homes at or just below the private rental market rental rates. It is available to people and families with moderate to middle incomes who may not be eligible for subsidized housing.
Operator
BC Housing selected the Revelstoke Community Housing Society (RCHS) to help develop and manage this housing.
Community engagement took place between 2020 and 2021, which helped shape the Development Plan. During the community engagement process approximately 150 people came out to provide feedback on the redevelopment and nearly 500 online surveys were shared. This valuable feedback helped shape the final site plan.
