Project overview
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.
The land will continue to be owned by BC Housing. Learn more about the Provincial Redevelopment Program.
BC Housing selected the Revelstoke Community Housing Society (RCHS) to help develop and manage this housing.
Learn more about RCHS by visiting Revelstoke Community Housing Society.
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.
