92-Unit Rental Project Planned for New Westminster Site
Third Space Properties has submitted a rezoning application to the City of New Westminster to rezone a 26,700 SF site on East Columbia Street in the Sapperton area of New Westminster.
The proposed development aims to revitalize the area by replacing an underutilized asphalt parking lot, a vacant building and four vacant lots with a thoughtfully designed building that improves the urban experience while providing housing diversity and job space.
The site is designated (ML) Mixed Use – Low Rise in the OCP. This land use designation envisions the provision of low-rise commercial or commercial and residential mixed use buildings which create active and engaging principal streets.
The overall plan for the project envisions a 6-storey building that includes:
- 92 market rental units;
- 18 studios, 51 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms & 6 three-bedrooms;
- 18,000 SF of office space;
- 14,400 SF of retail space;
- a total density of 3.70 FSR;
- 197 underground parking spaces.
The architect for the project is Integra Architecture.
