Rendition Development has submitted a development application to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a site at the Northwest corner of West 5th Avenue and Columbia Street in Mount Pleasant. The site is currently improved with a vacant commercial building and is zoned I-1. It is the latest in a string of commercial development applications for the area.

The plan for the site is a 4-storey commercial building that includes the following:

• manufacturing uses on the 1st and 2nd floors;
• office uses on the 3rd and 4th floors
• a total density of 3.0 FSR;
• an overall height of approximately 60.00 ft.; and

The architect for the project is Mallen Gowing Berzins Architecture, Inc.
