A rezoning and OCP amendment application have been submitted by Benedet Properties for a site at 2331-2335 St. Johns Street for a new 6-storey building including rental apartment units above retail.
The site consists of two lots at the southwest corner of St. Johns Street and Queens Street plus a portion of City land within the Queens Street right-of-way.
The proposal is to construct a 6-storey mixed-use commercial and residential building and a rooftop garden. The first two levels of the building would contain a Bosa Foods and a parkade for commercial use on the same ground level with a mezzanine and portion of residential parking stalls at the rear on the next floor. Due to the sloping nature of the site, the lowest commercial level
facing St. Johns Street is considered to be a “basement”.
Additional details include:
- 48 market rental units;
- 8 studios, 21 one-bedrooms, 12 two-bedrooms & 7 three-bedrooms;
- 6,900 SF Bosa Foods Store;
- a total density of 2.63 FSR;
- a CAC payment of $161,627 ($2.88 per SF)
The architect for the project is Cornerstone Architecture.
