Westland Homes’ proposal for a 52,532 SF Metrotown land assembly at 6450-6508 Telford Avenue will head to public hearing next week.

The subject site is within the Maywood neighbourhood of the Metrotown Downtown Plan area and is comprised of four properties: two strata buildings, a rental building and a vacant lot.

The Metrotown Downtown Plan designates the subject site for high-density multiple family residential development under the RM5s Multiple Family Residential District as a guideline.

The site will be subdivided into two legal parcels. The proposal on the northern parcel is for a 51-storey high rise building comprised of 44 levels of market strata residential uses atop a commercial podium with 6 levels of offices and one level of street fronting retail. The southern parcel is proposed to be developed with a 22-storey market and non-market rental apartment building.

Details include:

• 575 total residential units;
• 408 condos;
• 167 rental units;
• 68,409 SF of office and retail space;
• a total density of 9.13 FAR;
• building heights of 575 ft and 222 ft.;
• 1,170 parking stalls.

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos.
