28-Storey Tower Proposed for Robson Street

VivaGrand Developments has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop 1555 Robson Street, a site at the corner of Robson and Cardero Streets in Downtown Vancouver. The 132 x 131 ft site is located in the West End Community Plan which rezoned the property to C-6, which conditionally allows for a market residential highrise if social housing and commercial space is included.

The site sits directly south of 1550 Alberni, a 43-storey condo tower by Westbank currently under construction.

The proposal is for a 28-storey tower that includes:

  • 177 residential units including 24 units of social housing;
  • Retail on the ground floor;
  • Office space on floors 2-3;
  • Social housing on floors 2-7;
  • Condos on floors 8-28;
  • A total density of 9.63 FSR:
  • A building height of approximately 300 ft.

Vivagrand acquired the site in October 2017 for $79,500,000 or $455 per buildable SF based on the gross floor area in the application.

The architect for the project is IBI Group.
