A rezoning application has been for the Langara Family YMCA property at West 49th Avenue and Alberta Street. The site sits just West of Langara College, and North of Langara Golf Course.
The redevelopment of the 87,103 SF site at 282 West 49th Avenue entails rezoning an existing CD zone, to allow complete redevelopment of the existing YMCA facility to double the scale of the facility. The redevelopment concept has been consulting with the community and facility users for over a year.
The proposal consists of:
- a 5-storey YMCA replacement facility, including childcare, recreation (fitness, gym, and aquatic facilities), community spaces, and a cafe;
- a 13-storey non-market residential building containing 70 units;
- 11-studios, 24 one-bedrooms, 26 two-bedrooms & 9 three-bedrooms;
- a 20-storey market residential building containing 158 condo units;
- 41 one-bedrooms, 85 two-bedrooms & 32 three-bedrooms;
- a total density of 3.53 FSR;
- Total buildings heights of 198 ft. for the condo tower, and 145 ft. for the non-market tower.
- underground parking with 339 vehicle parking spaces and 545 bicycle parking spaces.
This rezoning application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.
The YMCA of Greater Vancouver anticipates that construction would start in 2021 and be completed in 2023.
The architect for the project is Stantec.
