2025 - Vancouver - First United - New Building Project - 11
To address the critical housing, health, and social justice needs of the Downtown Eastside, First United Church is partnering with Lu’ma Native Housing Society to redevelop this site at 320 East Hastings.
This is the eleventh of a series as the project proceeds. The deconstruction of the existing building started early June 2022.
The four-storey FIRST UNITED facility will serve as the pedestal for an additional seven stories of below-market rental housing for Indigenous Peoples (over 100 studio and one-bedroom units - 35 supportive housing units and 68 rental homes prioritized for Indigenous Peoples.)
The housing complex will be operated by Lu’ma Native Housing Society.
The non-residential portion of the project on floors one through four, will be a purpose-built First United facility offering a range of social services and programming for residents and the surrounding community.
Construction is expected to complete in late 2025. The residential floors will have a separate entrance at 438 Gore Ave.
