Vancouver-based Hootsuite will expand its presence in Mount Pleasant as part of a new tech campus proposed by Westbank and Henriquez Partners Architects.

A development application has been filed with the city for two neighbouring properties, one at 102 East 4th Avenue, and 110 East 5th Avenue.

The City of Vancouver recently approved zoning changes to the Mount Pleasant industrial area to help establish it as a high tech corridor. The neighbourhood is also seeing new residential development along Main Street. Chard Development is preparing to launch presales for Elenore on Fifth, and Create Properties is selling condos at its Second + Main development.
