16-Storey Rental Building Planned for West End Site

A rezoning application has been submitted by Gracorp for a site at 1045 Burnaby Street in the West End area of Downtown Vancouver.

The site is currently occupied by an older lowrise 37-unit condo building.

The proposal is for a 16-storey rental building that includes:

  • 170 rental units;
    • 133 market rental units and 37 below market rental units;
  • A total density of 6.19 FSR;
  • A floor area of 107,050 sq. ft.;
  • A building height of 159 ft.;
  • 52 vehicle parking spaces and 317 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Criteria for 100% Secured Rental and Below-Market Housing as an Alternative to Inclusionary Social Housing in the Burrard Corridor of the West End Community Plan.

Gracorp acquired the site in 2021 for $28,830,000 or $269 per buildable SF based on the application.
