Burrard Gateway: Revised Rezoning Application Submitted
After nearly 4 years on the drawing board, the partnership of Reliance Properties and Jim Pattison Developments have submitted a revised rezoning application in an effort to move the Burrard Gateway project forward.
The property, located at Burrard and Drake, is currently used as the Jim Pattison Downtown Toyota Dealership, with two small old house structures (non-heritage) and two small commercial buildings, one of which is currently housing a Scion Dealership. It was also reported in BIV this week that Reliance has secured the 7-11 site at the corner of Hornby and Davie, where it is expected a tower in the range of 28 storeys will become the 4th tower in the project.
The current plan calls for the following:
- along Hornby Street, a 54-storey tower and a 36-storey tower, with a 7-storey podium, providing retail, office and residential uses, including rental housing;
- along Burrard Street, a 14-storey office tower, including a 3-storey automotive dealership
- an increase in the total number of residential dwelling units, from 619 units to 810 units;
- a proposed density of 13.3 FSR (up from 11.8 in the previous proposal)
- a maximum height of 525.7 ft.
