Solterra Development has submitted a development application for a vacant lot at the Southwest corner of West 7th Avenue and Fir Street. Solterra acquired the site in 2011 after which time the 2-storey office building (Family Services of Greater Vancouver) was demolished. A previously approved development application for the 9,406 SF site was shelved and the site has since sat vacant for several years.
The current proposal for 1616 West 7th Avenue is for a new-11-storey building under the existing C-3A guidelines and includes the following:
-
- 43 condo units;
- 17 one-bedrooms, 23 two-bedrooms & 7 three-bedroom units
- 4 two-storey townhomes along West 7th Avenue;
- a total density of 5.40 FSR;
- a 5,901 SF cultural facility space (provision allowing increase above 3.0 FSR);
- over four levels of underground parking with 78 stalls.
- 43 condo units;
The architect for the project is IBI Group.
Solterra acquired the site in 2011 for $4,287,500, or $95 per buildable SF based on the application.
