Krahn Engineering Ltd. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 39,1855 triangular shaped site at 2741 Skeena Street in East Vancouver. The site is directly West of the Grandview Walmart parking lot.

The proposal is for a new 5-storey self storage facility, consisting of:

• Mini-Storage Warehouse uses on the second through fifth storeys;
• a parkade on the first storey;
• a total density of 3.0 FSR (117,555 sq. ft.); 
• 27 parking stalls;
• peak height of 100.00 ft.

Under the site’s existing I-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning. 

The full development application can be viewed here: http://development.vancouver.ca/pc2741skeena/index.htm

A development application has been submitted for a 20,000 SF assembled site at 3625 Rae Avenue in the Joyce Collingwood area of East Vancouver.

The proposed plan for the site is a stacked townhouse development that includes:

• 25 townhouse units;
• 8 two-bedrooms, 8 three-bedrooms and 9 four-bedrooms;
• a total density of 1.40 FSR;
• one level of underground parking, having vehicular access from the North lane, on this site.

The application describes the design rationale: “The project consists of two buildings, one is 3 1/2 storey along North of the lane and one 2 1/2 storey massing fronting Rae Avenue to provide visual transition to the lower height neighbourhood.”

Under the site’s existing CD-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 Matthew Cheng.

The site was assembled in 2016 for $8,100,000 or $290 per buildable SF based on the application.

A development application has been submitted to the City of Vancouver for permission to consolidate three single family lots at the Southeast corner of Granville Street and Park Drive in marpole.

• 17 units;
• a total density of 1.19 FSR;
• 26 parking spaces in an underground garage having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing RM-8N zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The site was assembled by Grandlake Investments Corp. in 2016 for a total of $8,670,000, or $377 per buildable SF.

The architect for the project is Cornerstone Architecture.
