A development application has been submitted for a site on West 41st Avenue in Kerrisdale, just West of East Boulevard. The site at 2074 West 41st Avenue is currently improved with an older 2-storey retail and apartment building.
The plan for redevelopment of the 13,100 SF C-2 zoned site is a new four-storey concrete mixed-use building, consisting of:
- Retail on the ground floor;
- Offices on the 2nd and 3rd floors;
- A 7-room hotel on the 4th floor;
- A total density of 2.50 FSR;
- A common garden and green roof on the rooftop level;
- three levels of underground parking having vehicular access from the lane.
The application describes the design rationale: “The architecture is classic, in recognition of the history of Kerrisdale and its image as an upscale community. The building is generally symmetrical. The exterior materials include manufactured stone facing, metal windows, architectural detailing and a masonry balustrade on the fourth level patio facing West 41st. Canvas awnings above the first level retail add interest and delight.”
The site was sold to Canada Golden Land Holdings in 2016 for $18,000,000.
The architect for the project is Rositch Hemphill Architects.
