Another major milestone for one of Canada's most significant community developments.


Transformational communities don't happen overnight. They are built through visionary leadership, trusted partnerships, innovative capital strategies and years of disciplined execution.

Owned by the Kiwanis-Soroptimist Senior Citizens Housing Society, Southwynds Place will deliver more than 900 permanently affordable rental homes, creating a vibrant mixed-income community for seniors, families, workers and individuals, and becoming one of the largest non-profit housing developments in Vancouver's history and one of the largest in Canada.

We're proud to share two important milestones for Southwynds Place, one of Canada's largest mixed-income affordable rental communities.
Earlier this year, Vancouver City Council unanimously approved the rezoning. We are now pleased to have achieved full rezoning enactment—a significant milestone that provides the planning certainty needed to advance toward construction financing and delivery.

Achieving enactment before Council's recess for the upcoming municipal election is an important accomplishment. A sincere thank you to the City of Vancouver staff and the broader project team for their professionalism, collaboration and commitment throughout this process.

We're also pleased to share that Build Canada Homes has assigned a Partnership Manager to the project, marking another important step as Southwynds Place advances through construction financing review and partnership discussions.

Projects of this scale require far more than great design. They require experienced leadership, strong governance, innovative capital solutions, proactive risk management and trusted partnerships working toward a shared vision.

At Purpose Driven Development, we believe the future of community development lies in helping organizations confidently navigate complexity. We partner with clients to unlock the full potential of their real estate through proven development frameworks, integrated development leadership and innovative capital strategies that reduce risk and create lasting community value.

Thank you to the Kiwanis-Soroptimist Senior Citizens Housing Society, Build Canada Homes | Maisons Canada, the City of Vancouver, our consultant team and every partner contributing to this remarkable project.
We're excited for what comes next.
