Anthem Properties is seeking approval at City of North Vancouver council for a Development Application for a mixed use development at 177 West 3rd Street, a former gas station and car wash that has been sitting vacant for several years due to remediation work. The site is located on the Southeast corner of 3rd Street and Chesterfield, just West of Lonsdale.

The proposed new development includes a 5-storey concrete condo building, including:

• 55 condo units
• 10,000 SF of ground floor retail space
• a total density of 2.68 FSR
• total building height of 52.50 ft
• one and a half levels of underground parking with 74 total stalls
• a CAC of $2,383,720, equivalent to $30 per SF

The site is located in an area designated in the OCP as Mixed Use Level 3, which permits 2.30 FSR density with provision for a bonus density of an additional 0.50 FSR that may be granted at council discretion.

A rezoning application in the Edgemont Village area of North Vancouver is heading to public hearing. The site is located on the West side of Crescentview Drive, across from the public library.

The plan is to redevelop three residential lots located at 3105 and 3115 Crescentview Dr. to create a three storey 22 unit apartment and a two storey single family house all located over a shared underground parking structure. The proposal  for the 24,374 SF site includes:

• 3 storey condo building and one single family house
• 26 total units
• 3 one-bedrooms, 17 two-bedrooms & 6 three-bedroom units
• 43 underground parking spaces
• overall density of 1.75 FSR
• total building height of 35 feet
• a CAC payment of $337,095 (approx. $13 per SF)

The OCP designation that applies to the site is Residential Level 5 – Low Density Apartment which allows a density up to 1.75 FSR. The height and design of the building was further reinforced by the Edgemont Village Centre Plan, which was adopted in 2015.

The architect for the project is Raymond Letkeman Architects.

Cressey Development Group has filed an application to rezone a 12,169 SF site that they own at the corner of West 1st Avenue and Cook Street, just West of Olympic Village. The site sits directly East of their previously completed project “The James”.

The plan calls to rezone from the M-2 industrial zone to CD to permit the development of a 10-storey rental residential building, including:

• 104 rental apartment units
• 51 studio units, 27 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms and 6 three-bedrooms
• a total density of 5.03 FSR
• a building height of 99 feet
• 50 underground parking spaces

The application is being considered under the Southeast False Creek Official Development Plan and Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.

Cressey acquired the site in December 2015 for $16,000,000, or $261 per buildable SF based on the expected rezoning.

The architect for the project is Chris Dikeakos Architects.
