A development application has been filed for a new laneway infill apartment building on a 66′ lot in the West End. 1176 Burnaby Street, owned by Lantern Properties, has an existing 11-storey, 41-unit apartment building known as Newport Apartments.
The laneway apartment application is for the rear of the property, currently a surface parking area. Details include:
- 9 rental apartments
- building height of 47 ft
- Total area of 6,852 SF
- 7 underground parking stalls accessed off the lane
The site is zoned RM-5A and the West End Community Plan, adopted in 2014, amended the RM zones to allow infill apartments on laneways where there is sufficient room for them.
