We are pleased to reintroduce 1860 Barclay Street, the only 33 ft. lot in the West End permitted for a 6-storey infill development building. This is a unique opportunity for a builder or owner occupier to acquire a site with permits in place and immediate development potential. 

The site is offered at $5,980,000.

A revised development permit application has been approved for the proposed 13-storey hotel on the Edward Chapman site at 833 West Pender. The project is somewhat unique in that the site is only 52′ x 120′.

An application was originally made by Executive Group in January 2017 after they acquired the site in 2016. The application required some tweaks but has now been approved at the Development Permit Board. Here are the details of the project:

• 106 hotel rooms (9 rooms per floor)
  
• Restaurant on the ground floor;
• Building height of approximately 154 ft;
• A total density of 10.33 FSR;
• A common roof deck amenity for guests including rooftop bar;
• 20 underground valet parking spaces accessed from the lane via car elevator.

The zoning for the site allows for 9.0 FSR, but up to 15% increase for hotel use.

Executive Group plans to open the 202-room Exchange Hotel in the lowrise portion of the Exchange Tower later this year.

The architect for the project is Studio One Architecture.

In what seems like a weekly occurrence, another Rental 100 rezoning application has been made for a site on East Hastings Street in East Vancouver.

This rezoning application is for a 12,080 SF site at 2601-2619 East Hastings Street, at the corner of Hastings and Penticton Street. The site is currently improved with lowrise commercial and is zoned C-2C. The proposal is for a 6-storey mixed-use building, consisting of:

• • 47 secured market rental units;
  • 8 studios, 23 one-bedrooms, 12 two bedrooms & 4 three-bedrooms;
  • 6,281 SF of retail space at grade;
  • a total density of 3.75 FSR;
  • a building height of 71 ft.; and
  • 42 underground parking spaces.

This application is being considered under the Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.
