20-Storey Rental Tower Proposed for Kits Site

Gracorp has submitted the latest rezoning application for a new rental project under the Broadway Plan. The proposal is for a site at 2175 West 7th Avenue, between Arbutus and Yew Street, just a couple of blocks from the future Arbutus Station.

The existing zoning for the 18,008 SF site is RM-4. The existing property is an older lowrise apartment building with 35 units.

The proposal is to allow for the development of a 20-storey residential building over three levels of underground parking and includes:

• 182 market rental units with 20% below market (approx. 35 units);
• A total density of 6.50 FSR;
• A building height of 216 ft.; and
• 52 vehicle parking spaces and 321 bicycle spaces.

This application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

The architect for the project is GBL Architects.
