Market Spotlight: North Vancouver Proposals
Here is a look at some of the current preliminary development proposals that are in the works in the District of North Vancouver.

The owner of this heritage fourplex on Edgemont Boulevard between Edgemont Village and Capilano Road has submitted a prelinary application to redevelop the site.
The application proposes relocating the existing heritage fourplex on the site, and then adding either:

- an additional 33 row homes (for a total of 37 homes) plus 51 parking stalls in an underground parkade
- a total density of 0.84 FAR in either scenario.
In both options, the relocated fourplex would be fully restored, designated as a heritage resource, and secured as below-market rental housing for low to moderate income families for a minimum of 10 years.
The site sold in 2018 for $5,120,000.
