A walk-up apartment building in Metrotown has sold for $10,400,000, or $216,667 per unit. The building is located on a 32,500 SF site at 6425 Silver Avenue, just south of a number of large-scale developments on Beresford Street. The zoning for the property is RM-3 and it is not known if the OCP will permit a higher density when the new Metrotown Area Plan is released. The buyer was a local investor.

Imani Developments is planning a new project at Marine Drive and Tatlow Avenue in North Vancouver. The proposed building is a 4-storey mixed-use building with 39 condo units above 3 retail units (6,508 SF). The 23,445 SF site is zoned C-9 and is designated for an approximate density of 1.79 FSR.
