Qualex-Landmark is proposing to rezone 458-476 West 41st Avenue from RS-1  District to CD-1 for a rental residential development including one 6-storey building and 2-storey townhouses at the rear of the site. The proposal consists of:

• 50 secured market rental units
• a proposed density of 2.55 FSR 37,152 SF

This rezoning application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan and the Secured Market Rental Housing Policy (Rental 100).

Qualex had purchased the site in 2010 for $2,500,000, or $67 per BSF based upon proposed density.

The site of the former Steveston secondary in Richmond sold to Polygon Homes for $41,125,000.

“The board is enthusiastic about what this means for our district,” said Donna Sargent, board chair at Richmond School District No. 38. “The sale of these lands provides us with funding that can be used for other capital projects and will ensure the legacy of Steveston will remain within the Richmond community.”

The 13-acre site will be split into eight acres sold to Polygon and five acres reserved for a park. There are no conditions on the sale and any rezoning will be done with the city.

12.58 acre Steveston Secondary Site

The secondary school closed in June, 2007 and was merged with the nearby London secondary to become Steveston London secondary in September, 2007.

Apartments to spring up around future Walmart – Richmond Review.

The road to Walmart is about to get more crowded.

Polygon is moving ahead with plans to build an apartment complex with 547 homes on Alexandra Road, across from the proposed SmartCentres retail mall. A development permit panel considered the application for Alexandra Court, from Polygon Development 269 Ltd. at Richmond City Hall.

“The proposal responds well to creating a strong, street-oriented building frontage character and the continued development of the pedestrian Alexandra Way corridor through the neighbourhood,” noted planned David Johnson in a report.

Four buildings, each with five to six storeys, along with a separate amenity building, would cover a one-level parkade on the 2.5-hectare (6.2-acre) development site near Garden City Road.

City council approved rezoning of the site earlier this year. Two residents complained over the growing density of the Alexandra neighbourhood, but the project is within the projected population targets under the West Cambie Area Plan.
