Infill Project Just What City of Vancouver Needs More Of

A new development application in the Norquay Village area of East Vancouver highlights what Vancouver needs far more of: stacked townhouses. This is particularly true where townhouses are replacing single family within walking distance of rapid transit (in this case the 29th Avenue Skytrain station).

The site in question, located at 2757-2761 Horley Street, is zoned RM-7, a new multifamily zone that was approved within the new Norquay Village Neighbourhood Centre Plan.

The proposal for the 8,302 SF site includes:

• a 3-storey plus basement building
• 10 townhouse units plus 3 lockoff units
• a height of 37.7 ft
• a density of 1.20 FSR
• each unit has a front entrance door visible from street
• porches, stairs and roof decks are all facing the street to maximize street life
