Recent changes to the West End zoning from the West End Plan allow an infill building on the remainder of the site. (Generally the infill is allowed on the lane, although in this case it’s the end lot so it will be addressed as 1071 Cardero Street).

A number of development applications have begun popping up in the West End; partially a result of the West End Community Plan that was adopted by the City of Vancouver in late 2013.

Most of these projects, including a site I sold at 1546 Nelson Street earlier this year, have an underutilized land area such as a surface parking lot or oversize backyard.

Here are  few that have come up for application this summer:

1546 Nelson Street  (sold in February for $2,050,000)

1071 Cardero Street

1529 Comox Street

• 17 residential units;
• a density of 2.30 FSR;
• commercial uses at grade; and
• 27 underground parking spaces.

• a total of 184 residential units;
• ground-level commercial space;
