Here’s another development proposal for a narrow site in the Downtown Eastside. Christopher Bozyk Architects has designed this 9-storey 60 unit project for a fifty feet wide lot next door to Stan Douglas’s artists studio (that was built about five years ago). We first featured it 18 months ago when details of the design were first released.

The project has two floors of commercial space and a shared landscaped rooftop garden, and the developer is Port Capital Group who are building the interestingly designed 2211 Cambie project now called South Creek Landing.
