Castlegar City Council has approved a development variance and a development permit for a new 27-unit apartment building in downtown Castlegar.

The project is a partnership between BC Housing and the Castlegar and District Community Services Society (CDCSS). It will feature a combination of studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom and three-bedroom suites.

“We recognize there is a significant need in Castlegar for a variety of affordable housing options, including family housing,” said BC Housing in a statement to Castlegar News.

“As this project is currently in early development, full project details – including timeline – are still being finalized. More information, including about the building’s specific clientele, will be made public closer to construction beginning.”
