Strand Development has submitted a rezoning application for the gas station site at the Southwest corner of Arbutus & West 16th in Vancouver. The site at 3205 Arbutus Street is 16,776 SF and currently zoned C-2.

The proposal is a 4-storey rental building that includes:

• 54 market rental units;
  • 12 studios, 23 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedroom & 2 three-bedrooms;
• 4,274 SF of retail space facing Arbutus;
• A total density of 2.50 FSR;
• rooftop amenity space;
• A building height of 60 ft.;
• 39 car parking spaces and 102 bike parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Secured Rental Policy

The slope of the site allows parkade access directly into the P1 level and facilitates a mezzanine level of residential units along the lane, while maintaining a 4-storey expression along Arbutus Street.

The project is meant as a “sister” building to the recently completed Kits Walk building located at 2075 West 12th Avenue.

The architect for the project is Yamamoto Architecture.
