366-Unit Six-Storey Residential Development Proposed at 108 Avenue and Cowan Road, Surrey City Centre
Surrey planning staff have recommended approval of a two-building, 366-unit low-rise apartment development at 13831–13859 108 Avenue and 13832–13856 Cowan Road in Whalley.
Details of the development proposal:
- 366 residential units (24 studio / 305 one-bedroom / 37 two-bedroom)
- Two six-storey wood frame buildings over two levels of underground parking
- Density: 2.40 FAR
- Rezoning: R1 and R3 to CD (based on RM-70)
- Parking: 393 vehicle stalls / 464 bicycle spaces
The proposed CD zone increases density from the RM-70 base of 1.5 FAR to 2.40 FAR in alignment with the City Centre Plan’s low-rise designation for the site.
The site currently contains three single-family dwellings and three duplexes. All 54 on-site bylaw trees are proposed for removal, with 100 replacement trees required — to be satisfied through cash-in-lieu given the site’s full redevelopment. Eleven of the 22 boulevard trees along the frontages are proposed for retention.
The project is designed by Barnett Dembek Architects.
