A partnership between Strand Development and Intracorp has submitted an application to rezone a site located at 1055 Harwood Street, between Thurlow and Burrard in the West End area of Downtown Vancouver.
The proposal is for a 32-storey residential building with:
- 82 market residential units;
- 68 two-bedrooms, 8 three-bedrooms and 6 four-bedrooms;
- 44 social housing units;
- a density of 10.35 FSR;
- four levels of underground parking with 156 vehicle parking stalls;
- 158 bicycle parking spaces; and
- a building height of 300 ft.
The RM-5A zoned site was redesignated under the West End Community Plan, adopted in 2014. Currently occupied by a lowrise coop, the site was acquired in August 2016 for $40.5 Million.
The application describes the design rationale:
“The overall form for the proposed building is one that is familiar to the West End. The tower, as proposed, is a 32-storey tower interlocked with a very small 6,300 square foot, seven storey (60’) base, thereafter tapering into a slender 5,500 square foot floorplate for the remainder of the building’s tower element.
The building has been designed as a “tower in the park” with the use of concrete and brick to create an articulated base transitioning into a slender tower with a simple concrete frame featuring expansive windows, spandrel glass and spacious balconies that are predominately inset into the building’s facade.”
The architect for the project is NSDA Architects.
Trillium Projects has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop an 11,440 SF site on MacDonald Street at Alamein Avenue, just South of West 24th Avenue in the Arbutus Ridge neighbourhood of Vancouver’s Westside. The area is a small commercial strip in an otherwise predominantly single family neighbourhood. The existing building on the site is an auto service centre.
The proposal is for a 3-storey building and duplex, including:
- 8 residential units, including 6 townhomes and a duplex;
- 2 retail CRU units on the ground level;
- a total density of 1.34 FSR;
- One level of underground parking accessed from the lane; and
- 21 parking stalls
Under the site’s existing CD-1 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.
The architect for the project is Shift Architecture.
