A rezoning application has been submitted for a 12,011 SF site in the Norquay Village area of East Vancouver. The site consists of three single family lots located at 2312-2328 Galt Street. It is currently zoned RS-1 single family and is being proposed for a 4-storey apartment building. It is located in an area of the Norquay Village Plan that is considered an apartment transition area. The proposal includes:

• 28 secured market rental units;
• a density of 2.25 FSR
• a building height of 41.5 ft.
• 24 underground parking spaces.

This application is being considered under the Norquay Village Apartment Transition Area Rezoning Policy and the Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Program.

With nine ‘SOLD’ signs in a row prominently featured on Granville Street, this has hardly been kept a secret, but the nine lots listed by Michelle Yu of RE/MAX on the West side of Granville Street have sold. While only 7 of the 9 lots appear to have completed already for a purchase price of $22,100,000, it is likely that the total assembly will approach the asking price of $33,640,660. The buyer is Hui Xiang International Realty Developments Ltd.

The site covers a 612.75 ft, two-block stretch of Granville Street from West 45th to West 47th Avenue. The lots are presently zoned RS-3 and the brochure describes “potential rezoning for multifamily”.

Exterior work on Bentall/bcIMC’s 745 Thurlow project appears to be nearing completion.
