The property is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Lynn Valley Road and Valley Centre Avenue. It is immediately west of Lynn Valley Centre shopping mall.

Just to the south, there is also a separate proposal by Crombie REIT to redevelop the Safeway grocery store into a mixed-use development with four towers up to 12 storeys, containing 479 homes, a 43,600-sq-ft replacement grocery store, 13,400-sq-ft civic amenity space, and 1,800 sq ft of retail.
