49-Unit, 4-Storey Infill Building Planned for Kingsway Site
A development application has been submitted for a 17,970 SF site on Kingsway in East Vancouver, on the South side of the Street between East 19th and East 20th Avenues. The site at 1050 Kingsway is improved with an older 2-storey commercial building and is zoned C-2 which allows a maximum density of 2.50 FSR.
The proposal for the site includes a 4-storey mixed-use building consisting of retail, restaurant and residential on the main storey, and residential use on the second to fourth storeys. Details include:
- 49 residential units;
- 6 studios, 31 one-bedrooms & 12 two-bedrooms;
- 7,307 SF of retail space;
- a total density of 2.47 FSR;
- a total building height of 50 ft.;
- two levels of underground parking with 78 spaces;
- a roof deck with amenity space.
Under the site’s existing C-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
The architect for the project is Matthew Cheng.
