A development application has been submitted for a two-lot, 10,563 SF land assembly on Granville Street in Marpole. The site at 7878 Granville sits just South of Coromandel’s Leveson project, currently under construction.

The plans for this site are for a 4-storey condo building, including:

• 20 condo units;
• a total density of 2.0 FSR;
• one level of underground parking having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing RM-9 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

• 253 units;

• a total building height of 350 ft.;

• A ‘pocket park’ fronting onto Sixth and Carnarvon.
• A CAC of $2,900,000

The site is designated Mixed Use High Density Designation within the Downtown Community Plan. The site is also located within the Tower Precinct in the Downtown Community Plan.

A rezoning application has been submitted for a new rental apartment building for a site at the Southwest corner of Rupert Street and East 22nd Avenue; just down and across the street from a Rental 100 project, currently in final stages of rezoning approval.

The plan for the site at 3281-3295 East 22nd Avenue is to rezone from the existing C-1 commercial zoning to CD zoning to allow a 6-storey mixed-use project.

An 8.13 acre land assembly at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Dawson Avenue has sold to Aoyuan Property Group (Canada), a Hong Kong based developer, for $152,000,000.

The site comprises six parcels, currently improved with various older industrial buildings. The Brentwood Town Centre Plan designates the site a mixture of medium density mixed use and high density residential.

The City of Vancouver has received the first major rezoning application for a site in the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan.

The proposal is for a 29,112 SF site owned by Intracorp at the corner of East 11th Avenue and Victoria Drive, currently occupied by older lowrise residential buildings, including a heritage house. The plan calls for rezoning from RM-4 to permit the development of a 10-storey residential building with a 6-storey residential podium.

The proposal includes:

• 149 units (76 rental & 73 strata);
• A total density of 3.58 FSR;
• Relocation and designation of a Vancouver Heritage Register Category “B” heritage house (on-site);
• A height of approximately 103.4 ft.; and
• 108 underground parking spaces.

This application is being considered under the Grandview-Woodland Community Plan which dictates that 50% of the gross floor area can be condos if 50% of the gross floor area is rental housing.

The architect for the project is Perkins + Will.
