Another proposal for Burquitlam, this one is a stacked townhouse project by Adera that is seeking rezoning for 60-units on Lea Avenue, just East of Clarke Road. The 36,750 SF site is comprised of four single family lots that have been assembled. The project is called ‘Duet‘.

The plan for the site includes three, 3-storey stacked townhouse buildings that include:

Ledingham McAllister has submitted a rezoning and development permit application for 520 Cottonwood Avenue, at the corner of Cottonwood and Whiting Way. The 39,000 SF site is located in the rapidly developing Burquitlam area of Coquitlam. The site is currently improved with an older lowrise strata building which has sold. T

The application proposes to rezone the subject site from RM-2 Three Storey Medium Density Apartment Residential Zone to Comprehensive Development (CD-10), based on the Multi-Storey High Density Apartment Residential Zone (RM-6) per the Burquitlam Lougheed Neigbourhood Plan.

Details of the proposal, entitled “Precidia” include:

• 176 market condo units;
  • 60 one-bedrooms, 98 two-bedrooms and 18 three-bedrooms;
• 65 market rental units;
  • 5 studios, 32 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms & 11 three bedrooms;
• 10 non-market rental units;
  • 2 studios, 5 one-bedrooms and 3 two-bedrooms;
• 13,000 SF of amenity space;
• a total density of 5.50 FAR;
• a total building height of 305 ft;
• 310 parking spaces.

The architect for the project is IBI Group.

Ledingham acquired the site in June 2018 for $22,500,000, or $105 per gross buildable SF.

We are pleased to introduce this 26,561 SF land assembly located just half a block East of Oakridge Centre. The site has been designated in the Cambie Corridor Plan to allow an 18-storey residential tower, with a 4-storey podium, retail at grade and a requirement for 30% of the gross residential floor area to be delivered as social housing.

Please contact us for further details.

Hungerford Properties has submitted a development application for a property they own at 2288 Clark Drive at the Northeast corner of Clark and East 7th Avenue in East Vancouver. The site is currently improved with an older lowrise commercial/industrial building.

Details of the proposed development include:

• a new 4-storey self-storage building;
• 62,330 SF of storage/warehouse space;
• a total density of 3.0 FSR;
• 8 parking spaces and 18 loading spaces with access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing I-2 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 The Krahn Group.

Reliance Properties has submitted their formal application to rezone 1166 West Pender Street, currently a 15-storey office building located on an 18,630 SF site. Reliance acquired the site through an off-market sale by our team in 2016 for $71,400,000 shortly after which the building’s sole tenant, Canada Revenue Agency, vacated the building. The building has subsequently been leased by another federal government tenant on a shorter term basis.

The plan to redevelop the property envisions as 31-storey office building, to the maximum height allowable when factoring building shadowing performance into account.

The rezoning proposal includes:

• 355,000 SF of office space;
• Average floorplates of 12,181 SF;
• 3,500 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 18.73 FSR;
• a building height of 387.5 ft.;
• six levels of underground parking with 199 vehicle parking stalls and 198 Class A bicycle parking spaces.

The application describes the architectural building character as follows: “1166 West Pender will house 31 floors of office space, blending high design, ecological responsibility, and civic enhancement. The building brings strategic densification to the area, adding 354,978 sf of office space and commercial amenities to a constrained site in the downtown Coal Harbour neighbourhood. Replacing an existing 15-storey office tower, the sinuous 31-storey tower will introduce a strong architectural presence and enhance the public realm. The shape and form of the tower are directly informed by the surrounding buildings and the limitations of the site. Convex and concave exterior walls respond to the contours of the adjacent buildings to form an undulating body wrapped in ceramic-fritted curtain wall glazing. A curved white glass curtain wall affords unobstructed views and establishes a distinct character and impressive presence. The ceramic frit also reduces thermal transmission, lowering heating and cooling costs and improving the building’s sustainability.”

This application is being considered under the Rezoning Policy for the Central Business District (CBD) and CBD Shoulder and the Higher Buildings Policy.

The architect team for the project is Hariri Pontarini Architects with IBI Group.
