Cadillac Fairview has submitted their formal application to initiate the redevelopment of Richmond Centre mall, announced earlier this year and the subject of public open houses this summer. Shape Properties has partnered with Cadillac to develop the residential component of the project.

The redevelopment of the southern portion of the 27 acre site, dubbed “CF Richmond Centre South” includes a two phase redevelopment of a horseshoe-shaped portion
of the south end of the existing mall.

The site does not actually require rezoning as the existing zoning allows for highrise residential towers; however, an OCP amendment is required to secure community benefits prior to DP issuance.

Details of the proposed new development include:

• Approximately 2,000 residential units;
  • 1,850 market units & 150 affordable housing units;
• 50% studio/1-bed units, 50% two & three bedroom units;
• 419,114 SF of new commercial space (net increase of 129,513 SF after demolition)
• A total of 2,500,000 SF;
• A total density of 2.1 FAR (including remaining portion of existing mall);
• Demolition of 290,000 SF of the existing mall and the multi-storey parkade;
• Twelve towers up to a maximum height of 148 feet;
• 4,000 off-street parking spaces on two-levels;
• 43,056 SF of indoor amenity space;
• A new City-owned street on the South edge of the property;
• A new 0.5 acre public plaza.

The development will be constructed in two phases with completion scheduled for 2026, as follows:

• 2018 – Sales centre construction and demolition of the former automotive shop (near the former Sears building)
• 2019 – Opening of the sales centre and the start of Phase 1, including demolition (i.e. west half of the existing multi-storey parkade and a portion of the mall), excavation, and site preparation followed near year-end by the start of construction
• 2021-2022 – Building-by-building completion and occupancy of Phase 1, beginning with the proposed underground parking and new retail space connected to the existing mall
• 2022-2025 – Phase 2 demolition (including the former Sears building, the east half of the multi-storey parkade, and a portion of the mall), excavation, site preparation, construction, and occupancy

The architect for the project is GBL Architects.

Qualex-Landmark  has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to redevelop a 30,763 SF land assembly that includes the Mac’s property at 4464 Dunbar Street with a condo building. The existing site is improved with an older strip retail centre. The site is zoned C-2 which allows a density of up to 2.50 FSR.

The proposal is for a new 5-storey condo building that includes the following:

• • 48 condo units;
  • 40 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
  • 10,859 SF of retail space;
  • Building height of approximately 52.9 ft;
  • A total density of 2.50 FSR;
  • Two levels of underground parking accessed from the lane with a total 129 parking spaces.

The application describes the design rationale: “The site on Dunbar Street, between West 28th and 29th Avenues, slopes greatly — almost 15′ from the lowest point of the site at grade to the highest point. The proposed building’s massing carefully addresses
the site’s terrain while recognizing the height limitations. We have designed a significant
setback at the corner of Dunbar and West 29th to serve as a public plaza. We imagine one retail unit facing the plaza to be a coffee shop or similar, to take advantage of the landscaped outdoor space of the plaza. We have also dedicated a part of the plaza to a public art piece, voluntarily commissioned by the owners.”

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 IBI Group.
