40-Units Planned for Central Lonsdale Site

A rezoning application has been filed for a site at 117-125 West 23rd Street, between Lonsdale and Chesterfield Avenue in the City of North Vancouver. The site, currently occupied by two duplexes and a single family house, is identified in the City’s OCP as Residential Level 5, which allows a density up to 2.60 FSR.

The plan for the 15,990 SF site is to rezone to allow a new 5-storey condo building that includes:

  • 40 condo units;
  • 7 one-bedrooms, 28 two-bedrooms & 5 three-bedrooms;
  • a total density of 2.35 FSR;
  • one level of underground parking with 34 stalls.

The application describes the design rationale of the project: “The proposed building would have a contemporary west coast design, with a mix of glass, lapped siding, and masonry materials. The massing of the five storey woodframe building would be broken down into a one-storey base, a three-storey mid-section and a one-storey top level expression.”

The architect for the project is Raymond Letkeman Architects.
