We oppose the Pantages Theatre owner’s 2011 application to build a massive condo building with token amounts of social housing on the 100 block of East Hastings Street.

1. We call on the City to stop the Pantages development permit application because it contradicts the “without displacement” part of the city’s policy of “revitalization without displacement” in the DTES.

2. We call on the Pantages owner to sell the property at its 2010 assessed value of $3.7 million to the City of Vancouver.

3. We call on the City to buy the Pantages parcel and designate it for 100% resident controlled social housing with low-income community space on the ground floor.

4. We call on the City to ensure that the nature of the development of the Pantages parcel be exclusively determined by low-income residents and communities in the DTES, including control over the final tendering of the project.
