199 ‘Micro Unit’ Rental Project Pitched for West Van Site

A preliminary rezoning proposal has been submitted to West Vancouver for the redevelopment of a one-acre site owned by Park Royal fronting the East side of Taylor Way just north of Park Royal Shopping Centre. 

The site is comprised of three lots fronting Clyde Avenue, as well as a single lot fronting Duchess Avenue. The site has never been developed and is currently serving as an ancillary parking lot for Park Royal North commercial.

The proposal includes a U-shaped 6-storey rental apartment building with a rooftop outdoor amenity level. The building is proposed to include “micro” market rental units.

Details of the preliminary concept include:

• 199 rental units;
  • 177 micro units at 350 SF
  • 22 studios at 420-440 SF;
• A total density of 2.0 FAR;
• 49 parking stalls on one underground level;
• an “outdoor amenity opportunity” fronting Duchess;
• rooftop amenity garden and common working spaces.

The architect for the project is DA Architects & Planners.

Council is scheduled to consider the preliminary development proposal on October 4, 2021, to determine if the proposal can proceed to public consultation prior to the adoption of the Taylor Way Local Area Plan.
