Listraor Homes has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 41,417 SF, five-lot land assembly at the Southeast corner of Oak Street and West 52nd Avenue. The lots are zoned RM8-AN.

The proposal is for non-stacked courtyard townhouses over underground parking. Details include:

• 36 three-bedroom townhouse units;
• a total density of 1.2 FSR;
• a building height of 33 feet;
• 53 underground parking spaces.

Under the site’s existing RM-8AN zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

Listraor assembled the site in 2016 for $19,168,000, or $386 per buildable SF based on the application.
