24 storeys in downtown Nanaimo? Committee supports rezoning for Chapel St. high-rise
NANAIMO — A rezoning application to allow for what would be Nanaimo’s second-tallest building has cleared a key hurdle.
The City’s community planning and development committee supported a rezoning application to allow for a 24-storey, 109-unit residential condo project at 65 and 77 Chapel St. at a meeting last week.
The building, proposed to be near the courthouse, would be shorter than only the 28-storey Cameron Island building.
The project, called Marcielo, is spearheaded by Vancouver-based Wertman Development Corporation, who bought the two side-by-side lots, currently used for parking, about a year ago.
