The total assembly has a combined site area of 38,323 SF. The combined assembly value of $46,550,000 equates to $107 per buildable SF.

Strand has submitted a new rezoning application for their site at 360 West 2nd Avenue, which was previously approved for rezoning in 2021 for a 7-storey for lease industrial and office project, branded ‘Three Sixty‘.

Office market conditions and the subsequent adoption of the Broadway Plan have led to design changes incorporating extra height, density and residential rental units, and removal of most of the proposed office space.

The new proposal anticipates a 19-storey mixed-use building that includes:

• 203 rental units;
• 33,319 SF of industrial space;
• 16,424 SF of office space;
• a total density of 11.81 FSR;
• A building height of 211 ft.

This application is being considered under the Broadway Plan. The application requires Official Development Plan (ODP) and Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) amendments.

The architect for the project is Yamamoto Architecture.
