Redevelopment of Marpole Safeway

Anyone who's driven from downtown to the airport knows this site at Granville and 70th...

I've been hearing about this project for a while and finally had a chance to go find the rezoning application. Safeway seems to be (finally!) redeveloping many of their urban sites, getting rid of those sprawling parking lots and densifying significantly. It's a smart move - because in the end they gain several hundred customers right overhead, and likely make a killing on the land they sell.

Anyways, go check it out here:
