In 2017, Vancouver City Council approved a rezoning proposal to allow for the preservation and restoration of the 84-year-old Vancouver Hobbit House.
The decision came after the property was sold the previous year to a heritage-friendly developer, and at the time there were immediate concerns by heritage and Tolkien fans that it would be demolished.
Adjacent properties on the block were also purchased for the rezoning proposal to allow for the plan to construct a townhouse development that would incorporate the Hobbit House.
