A development application by Pelagos Properties has been approved by the District of West Vancouver for 2711 Rodgers Creek Place, in the Rodgers Creek/Mulgrave area of West Vancouver above the Upper Levels Highway.

The proposal for the 37,000 SF steeply sloped site includes a 5-storey condo building and:

• 19 units;
  • 1 one-bedrooms, 5 two-bedrooms & 13 three-bedrooms;
• a total density of 1.0 FAR;
• three levels of underground parking with 35 stalls.

The architect for the project is Folio Studio Architecture.

The site was acquired in 2019 for $11,000,000, or $300 per buildable SF based on the application.

A preliminary rezoning application has been submitted for a 30,000 SF site near Edgemont Village in North Vancouver.

The site at 3712-3718 Edgemont Boulevard is currently improved with a four-plex built in 1951 and designed by Fred Hollingsworth.

A previous application for the site included preservation of the existing heritage structure and the addition of 25-30 units but the proposal did not proceed.

The OCP designates this site Residential Level 3: Attached Residential, which permits a density up to 0.8 FAR.

The new proposal for the site includes:

• 21 two-storey townhouses;
• a total density of 0.8 FAR;
• 41 underground parking spaces.

The architect for the project is Robert Blaney.

The site was listed for sale for $9,800,000 and sold earlier this year for $7,000,000 of $293 per buildable SF based on the application for townhouses.

A preliminary rezoning application has been reviewed by the District of North Vancouver for ‘Seylynn Centre’, a 3.1 acre assembly of 24 lots previously single family homes demolished in 2018. The site, owned by Denna Homes, is now being used as the construction staging for the neighbouring ‘Apex’ tower by Denna across Fern Street from the site.

A previous proposal was submitted in 2017 that envisioned a 19-storey tower and 6-storey building with 412 units and a density of 2.90 FSR.

The revised proposal for the site includes a 22-storey tower and 6-storey podium in the eastern portion of the site (“Phase 1”) and a 29-storey tower and 6-storey podium in the western portion of the site (“Phase 2”).

Details include:

• 334 condo units;
• 146 market rental units;
• 152 student housing units;
• 17,825 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 3.90 FSR;
• a public plaza on the southern portion of the site;
• 597 parking spaces.

The current proposal includes a density of 3.9 FSR, exceeding the site’s envisioned density of 2.9 FSR, and the “CRMU3” land use designation which supports a density up to approximately 3.5 FSR. The applicant is seeking an OCP amendment for the additional density, with the provision of non-market student housing, which equates to 1 FSR and 24% of the proposal’s residential component, provided in support of this request.
