Located on one of the largest undeveloped sites in Vancouver at 41st and Oak, Mayfair West will transform the site into a new 1.5 million square foot mixed-use community inspired by our unique experiences in global placemaking. 

Mayfair West will include approximately 17 buildings ranging in size from 4 to 26 storeys and 1,630 homes, including strata, market rental, affordable rental and social housing delivered over roughly ten years. Plans also include the delivery of a new childcare facility, a two-acre public park and improvements to local pedestrian and cycling infrastructure. 

The first phase is envisioned as the social hub of the development, delivering a range of home types across two of the master plan’s tallest towers, a prominent pedestrian thoroughfare with boutique retail and an entry plaza that opens the site up to the street.

The approved master plan was designed by James KM Cheng Architects and will be executed by award-winning Hariri Pontarini Architects (HPA) and Arcadis (formerly IBI). 

Mayfair West will also set a high bar for sustainability, meeting Vancouver City Council’s Rezoning Policy for Sustainable Large Developments which sets standards for landscape design, sustainable food systems, green mobility and zero waste planning. The project aligns with our net zero carbon commitments, as indicated in our Pathway to Zero decarbonization strategy*.

Grosvenor is leading all aspects of the development and owns the property with capital partners MOMC, the company that acquired the site in 2016, and Transca, our partner on the successful Polaris residential development in Burnaby.

** Operational Net Zero: This project targets net-zero operational carbon emissions for Scopes 1 and 2, using a combination of high-efficiency systems and verified carbon offsets. Methodology is aligned with the standards and guidelines in the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas Protocol’s Corporate Standard and Value Chain Standard, and documentation is available upon request.

Carbon Neutral via Offsets: Carbon neutrality is achieved through the purchase of certified offsets from a widely recognized and trusted certification program  for voluntary offsets to balance operational emissions in 2030. Offsets are not a substitute for reductions and are used as a transitional measure. Offset details available on request.
