The City of Vancouver has received the first major rezoning application for a site in the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan.

The proposal is for a 29,112 SF site owned by Intracorp at the corner of East 11th Avenue and Victoria Drive, currently occupied by older lowrise residential buildings, including a heritage house. The plan calls for rezoning from RM-4 to permit the development of a 10-storey residential building with a 6-storey residential podium.

The proposal includes:

• 149 units (76 rental & 73 strata);
• A total density of 3.58 FSR;
• Relocation and designation of a Vancouver Heritage Register Category “B” heritage house (on-site);
• A height of approximately 103.4 ft.; and
• 108 underground parking spaces.

This application is being considered under the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan which dictates that 50% of the gross floor area can be condos if 50% of the gross floor area is rental housing.

The architect for the project is Perkins + Will.
