Grosvenor presents redesign to council.
A shorter, more architecturally distinct version of the mid-rise development earmarked for the 1300-block of Marine Drive in West Vancouver took one more baby step towards realization.
Council voted unanimously Monday night to hand the revised blueprints to its design review committee.
The height of each building has been reduced by one storey and between 20 and 27 feet from the original design. At seven and six storeys, the two terraced mid-rises would now measure 79 and 68 feet, respectively.
The buildings would also feature smaller units than originally planned, giving the project 100 units with an average size of 1,771 square feet.
Exclusive:
Brookfield has flipped the Shangri-La Vancouver (now Hyatt) retail podium to Aquilini Group for $55 million. Brookfield bought the property last summer.
