34-Unit Project Proposed for South Cambie

A rezoning application has been filed for a 17,000 SF two-lot assembly site at 7638-7662 Cambie Street, on the east side of Cambie between West 60th and West 61st Street.

The proposal is for a 6-storey condo building that includes:

• 34 units;
• 2 studios, 4 one-bedrooms, 22 two-bedrooms and 6 three-bedrooms
• a building height of 70 ft. ;
• a total density of 2.43 FSR; and
• 71 vehicle parking spaces and 49 bicycle spaces.

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect, GBL, explains the design rationale: “The Cambie Street facade comprises of stacked linear interowoven layers that playfully mirror the vehicular energy and movement of the adjacent street. The long projecting balconies act as giant louvers that shield the building face from mid to late afternoon sun, while also providing some acoustic buffering depth from the busy traffic.”
