Court Decision on Evelyn Drive Unsealed

Tuesday, March 15, 2011

Tuesday, March 15, 2011 – The District of West Vancouver has learned, through a B.C. Supreme Court decision, that the Evelyn Drive project will be going into receivership. In 2007, West Vancouver’s Council approved a site master plan based on extensive community consultation.

"The community and our staff have invested more than seven years to ensure the Evelyn Drive development met the community’s standards and would be of benefit to West Vancouver," says Pamela Goldsmith-Jones, West Vancouver Mayor. "We wish to see the project come to fruition." The development has the appropriate zoning.

In a statement released by Millennium, the company thanked buyers for their patience and reiterated that buyers deposits, which are held in their lawyers' trust accounts, accruing interest, are secure in accordance with the Real Estate Development Marketing Act.
