Stacked Townhouses Planned for West 23rd & Yukon
Belford Properties has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a new stacked townhouse project at the Southwest corner of West 23rd Avenue and Yukon, on a site assembled and sold by our team.
Details include:
- 27 units plus 8 additional lock off suites;
- a total density of 1.2 FSR;
- a proposed height of 36 ft.; and
- one level of underground parking providing a total of 48 parking spaces, having vehicular access from the lane.
The application describes the design rationale: “The building forms are simple and elegant while responding to the shape and slope of the site. The volumetric form is broken down by material, textural and colour change to reduce the scale of the massing, create interest and reinforce the overall
design concept. Contrasting colours and textures of the exterior materials and finishes are key features to the strength of the proposed modern architectural style while respecting the context.
The building typology is designed to keep with the general language currently found within this part of the Cambie Corridor. The proposed two and three storey building height correlates with the prescribed transition from the mid-rise buildings fronting Cambie Street and W King Edward Avenue to the single-family homes currently located in the neighbourhood.“
Under the site’s existing RM-8A 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 DYS Architecture.
