Since 1990, La Maison has operated as a community cultural centre that houses a variety of not-for-profit Francophone organizations that offer a range of services and activities. The future of La Maison depends on replacement and expansion of its current aging facilities. The redevelopment will revitalize and expand on the existing facility to provide 4,063 sm (43,732 sf) of new community amenity that will serve the general public and support Francophones and Francophiles in the Greater Vancouver area. The 21-storey mixed-use development will provide new facilities in a 2-storey podium housing a mix of cultural, performance, administrative and retail uses, atop which will be 19 storeys of residential housing.
