Plan for Harry Jerome Site Includes Two Towers, 784 Units
A rezoning application has been submitted for the Harry Jerome Neighbourhood Lands, a 24 acre site at Lonsdale and 23rd in the Central Lonsdale area of North Vancouver.
The City of North Vancouver sold the site to Darwin Properties in 2017 on a 99-year leasehold basis as part of an RFP related to a larger scheme to build a new Harry Jerome Rec Centre across the street. The City will use the proceeds from the lease to fund the construction.
After public consultation in late 2017, the rezoning application for the site is now moving foward to allow mid-rise multi-family and commercial uses and activities contributing to a pedestrian-scale village feel. Details include:
- Two 26-storey towers and four mid-rise buildings;
- 784 total units including strata and rental;
- 30 studios, 371 one-bedrooms, 340 two-bedrooms & 43 three-bedrooms;
- 21,400 SF of retail space;
- A total density of 2.28 FSR;
- Maximum tower heights of 243 feet;
- 829 parking stalls;
- A new 1.0 hectare public park stretching along Lonsdale from 21st to 23rd.
There is also an alternate option which includes a taller tower, up to 32-storeys, and up to 840 total units for the site. Council will decide on whether to proceed with processing the currently presented option.
The architect and planner for the project is Perkins + Will.
