Here is a construction update on an interesting infill project in Chinatown that was approved under the Rental 100 program in 2013. 245 East Georgia St. is a 9-storey apartment being built on a 25-foot lot. As described on Gair Williamson Architect’s website:

“The design is for 40 studio apartments ranging in size from 320 to 360 square feet and a commercial unit at the ground level. All units have floor to ceiling glazing with either juliet windows or a balcony, there is also a communal roof deck providing opportunities for urban agriculture.”

There will also be retail on the ground floor.
