Onni Group has submitted a plan to the City of Port Moody’s Community Planning Advisory Committee in order to move forward with their final phase of the City’s largest master-planned community: Suter Brook Village. The project is located on the eastern edge of Port Moody.

The first phases, completed just over 10 years ago, comprise a total of 959 units, as well as over 300,000 SF of retail and office space.

Parcel D, the final phase of the project, is located just north of the recently opened Inlet Centre Skytrain station. The plan for Parcel D includes:

• a 26-storey tower and two 4-storey lowrise buildings
• 290 units
• average unit size of 900 SF
• outdoor pool, BBQ area and children’s play area
• a total amenity package of $1.5 Million

The architect for the project is Ciccozzi Architecture.

Anticipated for well over a year now, Brilliant Circle Group has submitted their detailed rezoning application for one of Downtown Vancouver’s most prominent sites. 1445 & 1455 West Georgia, currently occupied by two older office buildings, is located where Georgia and Pender Streets merge, forming a triangle or flatiron shape. The site is considered a gateway to Downtown and is permitted extra height under the General Policy for Higher Buildings.

BCG had filed a preliminary inquiry in 2015 for the 18,158 SF site that was acquired via two separate acquisitions in 2013 & 2014 . The more detailed submission seeks to allow for a 46-storey residential development. The proposal includes:

• a building height of 514 ft.;
• a total density of 14.2 FSR;
• 128 market residential units;
• 76 two-bedrooms, 41 three-bedrooms, 9 four-bedrooms and 2 five-bedroom units
• 74 of 128 units have balconies
• seven levels of underground parking.

The building design features some interesting floor layouts and structural features intended to reduce clutter on the ground floor while providing seismic reinforcement.

This application is being considered under the General Policy for Higher Buildings.

Tower details include:

• The tower includes 40 residential floors elevated above the ground plane approximately 80 ft
• The residential floors are supported on an 8 ft thick transfer slab
• Four amenity floors are suspended from the transfer slab
• Private dining level
• Children’s play area and residential lounge
• Fitness centre
• Upper fitness area and sub mechanical and electrical rooms, required to service the high building height
• Access level from Georgia St. for residents
• Main lobby level and arrival porte cochere at the Pender St. level
• Upper underground level accommodates bicycle storage, BC Hydro project vista, main mechanical and electricalservice rooms, and visitor parking
• Seven residential parking levels with storage lockers and car wash facilities

The architect for the project is James Cheng Architects.

I am pleased to introduce this opportunity to acquire a residential development site in the Norquay Village area of East Vancouver. The site has rezoning potential to allow an 8-10 storey building and approx. 73,500 SF buildable.
