IRCA Group is seeking development permit approval for a proposed redevelopment of four single family lots located at the southeast corner of Crown Street and Mountain Highway in Lynn Creek Town Centre area of North Vancouver.

The plan for the 17,4000 SF site calls for a new 6-storey building that includes:

• 47 residential units
• 13 one-bedrooms, 27 two-bedrooms and 7 three-bedrooms;
• a total density of 2.50 FSR ;
• 58 underground parking spaces on two levels

A development application has been submitted by Rendition Developments to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 99′ x 122′ site at 224 West 8th Avenue in the Mount Pleasant area. The site is currently improved with an old two-storey office building.

This area has seen a slew of applications since the I-1 zone was changed in 2013 to permit more general office use to a density of 3.0 FSR.

The plan for this site is for a 4-storey, mixed-use building consisting of:

• Manufacturing uses on the first storey and mezzanine above;
• General Office uses on the second through fourth storeys;
• a total density of 3.0 FSR;
• a total building size of 36,258 SF;
• two levels of underground parking, providing 51 parking spaces

Under the site’s existing I-1 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is Mallen Gowing Berzins Architecture.

The site was acquired by Rendition in February 2017 for $9,500,000 or $262 per buildable SF.
