Proposal for Langara Gardens Site Includes 2,600 Condo, Rental & Social Housing Units
The formal rezoning application by Concert Properties and Peterson Group for Langara Gardens has been released publicly.
A rezoning policy statement for the 20.8 acre site had been completed in 2018 and the full rezoning application had been anticipated since that time.
The proposal is for the redevelopment of the site with buildings between 3 and 36 storeys. The existing four 18-storey towers would be retained. The proposal includes:
- Approximately 430 social housing units;
- Approximately 760 rental units (including 85 below-market units);
- Approximately 1,430 strata units;
- 3.1 FSR total density (2.7M SF);
- A 69-space childcare facility;
- Public open spaces, Cambie Park upgrades, a new 1-acre park.
The application is being considered under the Langara Gardens Policy Statement and the Issues Report: Direction for Intensification of Large Sites to include Moderate Income Rental Housing.
The full rezoning application can be viewed here.
The architect for the project is James Cheng Architects.
The site was originally sold by Colliers to Peterson Group in 2009 for $157,000,000. Concert Properties was brought on as a 50% partner in 2015.
