Mondevo Projects has applied to develop an RM-4N zoned site at 321 East 16th Avenue in the Mount Pleasant area of East Vancouver. The plan calls for a 3-storey stacked townhouse development on the site which is an assembly of three lots, one lot in from the Northeast corner of Sophia Street. An existing townhouse project is located next door. Details include:

• 20 units
• 9 three bedroom units, 2 two bedrooms and 9 one bedroom units on the ground
• Total density of 1.45 FSR
• 17,660 SF buildable
• one level of underground parking

The project’s design, which includes outdoor stroller lockers, is intended to target young families.

The District of North Vancouver held a council workshop earlier this week during which an update was provided on development activity in the five town centre and village centre areas.

While rezoning applications do exist outside the town centre and village centre areas, the District of North Van has sought to concentrate development growth in these areas.

A summary of this update is provided below:

Lions Gate Village

Edgemont Village

Lynn Valley Town Centre

Lynn Creek (formerly Lower Lynn)
