Starlight has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop two infill rental buildings on an existing apartment property they own at 1755 Haro Street in the West End.

The 138-unit, 19-storey concrete highrise known as Peter Manor, was originally built in 1970, and acquired by Starlight in 2018 as part of a four property portfolio sale for $247 Million.

The infill proposal for the property includes a new 6-storey apartment building fronting Haro Street, and a 3-storey townhouse building fronting the lane.

Details include:

• 61 market rental units;
  • 28 one-bedrooms, 24-two-bedrooms & 9 three-bedrooms;
• A building height of 61 ft.;
• New density of 1.69 FSR.

Under the site’s existing RM-5A zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is BHA Architecture.
