MST Proposing 150-Unit Townhouse Development For West Vancouver Site
The MST Development Corporation has submitted a preliminary development application for a former Department of Fisheries and Oceans property at 4165-4195 Marine Drive in West Vancouver.
The site is approximately 5 acres and is located on Marine Drive near Burkehill Road and is currently vacant and unimproved.
The preliminary proposal for the site includes three 3-storey townhouse buildings above an underground parkade. Details include:
- 150 townhouse units;
- 30% one-bedrooms, 45% two-bedrooms & 25% three-bedrooms;
- a total density of 0.73 FSR;
- 165 underground parking stalls.
The proposal is being considered under Official Community Plan policy 2.1.4, which aims to increase missing middle housing options with ground-oriented, multi-family dwellings on appropriate sites along the Marine Drive transit corridor.
The MST Development Corporation is a partnership of the Musqueam Indian Band, Squamish Nation and Tsleil-Waututh Nation. The site was acquired from the Federal Government as part of a joint venture with Canada Lands in 2014 along with the Jericho Lands and the Heather Lands.
