Rental Building Slated for Vacant East Broadway Site
A development application has been submitted to the City of Vancouver for permission to restore and retain the front façade of a fire damaged heritage “C” Building at 748 East Broadway, between Fraser and Prince Albert Streets.
The building suffered a fire in 2014 that destroyed much of the structure.
The plan for the redevelopment is a new 4-story mixed use building consisting of:
- 18 rental units;
- 10 studios & 8 one-bedrooms;
- 2,171 SF of retail space;
- a total density of 2.98 FSR;
- a proposed height of approximately 45 feet; and
- two surface parking spaces, having vehicular access from the lane.
Under the C-2C 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 Stuart Howard.
