Proposed West End Tower a First Under New Plan
A development application has been submitted under a new zone created by the West End Community Plan (“WECP”) which was adopted one year ago. This new RM-5D zone permits a density of 7.0 FSR and allows market residential if social housing is provided. The proposed development by Intracorp is for a 17,303 SF site at the Northwest corner of Davie Street at Jervis St.
This is the first sizable development application to be submitted under the WECP, and does not require rezoning since this area of Davie Village was rezoned by policy amendment as part of the WECP.
The tower component as proposed is intended to be market housing, while the podium is mostly comprised of affordable, city owned non-market housing, with a small commercial retail shop on the corner.The plan for this site calls for:
- A 19-storey tower
- 62 market residential units and 28 social housing units
- 1 retail unit at grade
- 114 underground parking stalls
- A height of 190 ft.
- Density of 6.61 FSR (114,372 SF)
