GBL Architects has applied to the City of Richmond for permission to rezone a 1.20 acre site at 8091 Capstan Way, from “Auto-Oriented Commercial (CA)” to “Residential/Limited Commercial (RCL5)”, to permit the construction of a two-tower, high-density, mixed use development in the City Centre’s Capstan Village area.

The site sits directly across the street to the South of the Wall Centre Richmond complex.

The proposed development includes:

• 136 residential units
• 59 one-bedrooms, 77 two & three bedrooms
• 75 hotel rooms
• 9,688 SF of ground floor retail
• a total density of 3.65 FAR
• a cash contribution of $1,141,402 and public dedication
• 193 underground parking spaces

A development application has been submitted for a 4-lot single family land assembly in the Norquay Village neighbourhood of East Vancouver. The RM-9A zoned site is located at 2652 Duke Street, just North of Kingsway.

Details for the new 4-storey woodframe condo building includes:

• 30 units;
• 2 one-bedrooms, 15 two-bedrooms & 13 three-bedrooms;
• a four-storey, multiple dwelling building containing 30 units, all over one level of underground parking, having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing RM-9A 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 Matthew Cheng.

Shape Properties has submitted their rezoning application for Tower 5 of the Amazing Brentwood project. The tower is actually the fourth to be rezoned, with the first three towers now sold out and under construction.

This tower will be located at the Northeast corner of Willingdon Avenue and Halifax Street. Details include:

• A 51-storey tower located above a 2-storey commercial podium
• 506 condo units
• 287 one-bedrooms, 190 two-bedrooms, 27 three-bedrooms & 2 four-bedrooms
• 11.21 FAR (on net site)
• 37,542 SF of commercial space
• 673 parking stalls

Once this phase is complete, the four towers will represent almost 2,000 units.
