Rare Multi-Family Building Planned for Arbutus Ridge

Trillium Projects has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop an 11,440 SF site on MacDonald Street at Alamein Avenue, just South of West 24th Avenue in the Arbutus Ridge neighbourhood of Vancouver’s Westside. The area is a small commercial strip in an otherwise predominantly single family neighbourhood. The existing building on the site is an auto service centre.

The proposal is for a 3-storey building and duplex, including:

  • 8 residential units, including 6 townhomes and a duplex;
  • 2 retail CRU units on the ground level;
  • a total density of 1.34 FSR;
  • One level of underground parking accessed from the lane; and
  • 21 parking stalls

The architect for the project is Shift Architecture.
