Here is a brief construction update for Westbank’s much anticipated Vancouver House project; a 375-unit, 600,000 SF, 59-storey condo tower expected to be complete in 2018. The project is near sell-out with only a few units remaining.

A development application has been filed with the City of Vancouver for the former Terminal City Ironworks site, a 2.3 acre full city block in East Vancouver located at 1900 Pandora Street, with frontage on Franklin St., Victoria Dr. and Semlin Dr. The site, zoned I-2 industrial, was offered for sale in 2014 with Cushman Wakefield for $14.9M.
The history of the site, including its more recent use predominantly as a film shoot location, was reported by the Vancouver Sun earlier this year.
The current development proposal from Conwest Developments anticipates two new buildings including the following:
The use and density are conditional under the zoning and therefore requires approval of the Director of Planning.
The architect for the project is Taylor Kurtz.
While much of the buzz in the media has been focused on Holborn’s 15-acre site which is slated for approx. 1,400 units, the Little Mountain ‘Adjacent Area’ is quietly plodding along with redevelopment.
The latest application is for a two lot, 7,971 SF site assembly at 106-116 East 35th Avenue, adjacent Mosaic’s James Walk project, which quickly sold out earlier in 2015. The proposal, by Forrester Development Corporation, is for a 5-storey building that includes:
The application is being considered under the Little Mountain Adjacent Area Rezoning Policy. The architect for the proposal is Ankenman Marchand.
Millenium Developments is proposing a rezoning bylaw amendment to permit the construction of two condo towers in the Brentwood area of Burnaby. The site, located at 2630 Douglas Road, is south of Lougheed Highway near Holdom Station, in an area that is primarily still industrial uses.
The plan calls for two high-rise condo towers under the RM-5s and C1 guidelines, with some live/work units facing the street. Per the Brentwood Town Centre Development Plan, the maximum density would be 5.0 FAR. The parking would be located both above and below ground given soil conditions in the area.
The District of North Vancouver recieved a presentation last night showing the current status of rezoning, development and building applications in various areas. Here’s a snapshot:
