CIBT Planning Hotel and Office Complex for Richmond Site
CIBT Education Group has applied to the City of Richmond for permission to rezone a site at 7780, 7800, 7804, 7820 and 7840 River Road in Richmond.
The 77,000 SF site is an assembly of underutilized commercial and industrial parcels. It is designated in the City of Richmond’s OCP as Urban Centre T5, which allows up to 3.0 FAR plus a bonus.
The proposal for the site includes:
- an 11-storey hotel with 183 guest rooms;
- an 8-storey office building with retail and restaurant space;
- 2 ½ levels of underground parking;
- a total density of 3.23 FAR (232,687 SF);
- dike upgrades to City’s current standard (15 ft.)
The architect for the project is Urban Solutions Architecture.
