A rezoning application has been submitted for a two-lot land assembly on the East side of Cambie Street between West 27th and West 28th Avenue. The site at 4338-4362 Cambie Street is 20,848 SF.

The proposal consists of a 6-storey residential building that includes:

• 68 condo units including 6 townhouses at the lane;
  • 42 one-bedrooms, 18 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 2.75 FSR;
• A building height of 67 ft.; and 
• 68 underground parking spaces and 129 Class A bicycle spaces.

This rezoning application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect for the project is Arno Matis Architecture.

Matis also designed a project one block North, which will include 57-units.

The site was acquired in 2017 for $17,500,000 or $305 per buildable SF based on the application.

• Three residential towers – two at 28 storeys & one at 24-storeys;
• 488 condo units;
  • 5 studios, 228 one-bedrooms, 231 two-bedrooms & 24 three-bedrooms;
• 223 non-market rental units;
  • 67 studios, 46 one-bedrooms, 66 two-bedrooms & 44 three-bedrooms;
• 30 Pearson supportive units;
• 85,019 SF of retail space;
• a significant public plaza at the Northeast corner to accomodate a potential future Canada Line Station;
• tower heights of 243 ft. & 285 ft.
• 5 levels of underground parking accessed from Paulson Street.

The application describes the design rationale: “The northern portion of the block has a single tower marking the corner of West 57th Ave. and Internal Street 2 with a mid-rise extension parallel to West 57th Ave. The northern and southern edges of the north building offer commercial spaces along West 57th Ave. and the internal public plaza. The southern block has two towers, each with a mid-rise extension. One tower sites at the southern edge of the transit plaza, serving as a landmark and reinforcing the plaza as the site gateway.”

The remaining phases comprise over one million square feet of additional market and non-market density.

The architect for Cambie Gardens is IBI Group.

Cressey has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop the former Rona site at the Northeast corner of Kingsway and Dumfries Street in East Vancouver, just East of Knight Street. 1503 Kingsway is a 67,023 SF site that is zoned C-2, which allows a mix of residential and commercial uses.

The proposal is to replace the aging commercial building with a 13-storey mixed use building on top of a 6-storey podium. A previous design sought 16-storeys for the site.

Details of the current application include:

• • 154 condo units, including;
    • 38 townhouses facing Fleming St. and Dumfries St.;
  • 23,247 SF of retail and office space;
  • a tower height of 167 ft. 
  • a total density of 2.50 FSR;
  • 2 levels of underground parking accessed from a lane connected to Fleming Street and Dumfries Street.

Under the site’s existing C-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Development Permit Board.

The architect for the project is Rositch Hemphill Architects.

The site was sold by Colliers in 2013 for $21,000,000, or $125 per buildable SF based on the application.
