James Schouw and Associates has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop on a 6,098 SF site next to Beedie’s controversial project at Keefer and Columbia. The plan for the existing vacant site is for a 10-storey mixed-use building with commercial uses on the first two floors and residential uses above. The proposal includes :

• 33 residential units;
• total floor area of 49,323 SF;
• 8,000 SF of commercial space;
• building height of approximately 88 ft.; and
• 3 levels of underground parking containing 39 parking spaces.

The plan also calls for the commercial space to have frontage on both the Keefer side and the laneway.

Under the site’s existing HA-1A zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

Strand Development has submitted a rezoning application for a 10,881 SF site on West 12th Avenue, next to the Arbutus greenway. The site is currently improved with an older commercial building occupied by Blenheim Import Auto Service. 

The plan for the site calls to rezone from the existing C-7 commercial zoning to permit the development of a 6-storey residential building. The proposal includes:

• 48 rental apartment units;
• 3 studios, 20 one-bedrooms, 15 two-bedrooms and 10 three-bedrooms
• A total density of 3.47 FSR
• A building height of 63.75 ft.; and
• 20 underground parking spaces.

The application is being made under the Rental 100 policy.

The architect for this project is Yamamoto Architecture.

A preliminary rezoning application has been submitted by Chard Development in order to add much needed rental apartment density to an existing apartment property in the Central Lonsdale area of North Vancouver.

1441 St. George’s Avenue is a rental apartment building at St. Georges and East 15th Street. The existing building is 14-storeys with a 2-storey commercial podium. The building contains 80 rental residential units and 52 commercial units.

The rezoning application is proposing to rezone the property to allow for the construction of a new rental tower on the West side of the site, including:

• a 23-storey rental tower
• 175 new rental units
• 10 studios, 111 one-bedrooms, 114 two-bedrooms, 20 three-bedrooms (combined)
• a total combined density of 6.29 FSR
• purchase of 85,156 SF of density at $115 per SF

The site is currently zoned Central Lonsdale Mixed Use ‘C-1B’, which allows for a density of 2.60 FSR. The site is designated Mixed Use Level 4B land use in the Official Community Plan (OCR), which allows for an FSR of up to 3.0 with the potential for a density bonus of an additional 1.0 FSR.

The architect for the project is MCM Partnership Architects.

The property sold in September 2016 for $37,500,000, or $310,000 per existing unit.

We are pleased to introduce this 5-lot land assembly in the Phase 3 area of the Cambie Corridor. The site has potential to be redeveloped for ground-oriented housing in the forthcoming Phase 3 of the Cambie Corridor Plan.
