733-Unit, Two Tower Metrotown Project Planned by Wesgroup
Wesgroup is proposing two condo and rental towers with podium frontage in the Maywood neighbourhood of the Metrotown Downtown Plan.
The 78,550 sq ft site is located on Willingdon Avenue south of Beresford Street. The proposed development plan is for a 35-storey condo tower and a 38-storey condo and non-market rental tower. Both buildings will be oriented towards an internal court yard with an 8-storey podium.
The existing site contains two older lowrise apartments with a combined 116 rental units that will be replaced. The rezoning utilizes the RM5s and RM5r Multiple Family Residential District and Metrotown Downtown Plan as guidelines.
The project includes:
- 733 total units;
- 617 condos;
- 61 studios, 309 one-bedrooms, 185 two-bedrooms, 62 three-bedrooms,
- 116 non-market rental units;
- 92 one-bedrooms & 24 two-bedrooms.
- a total density of 7.13 FAR;
- building heights of 342 ft and 394 ft.;
- 804 underground parking stalls.
The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.
