Darwin Construction is proposing a 5-storey building, inclusive of 9,160 SF of retail at grade with residential above at 745 Marine Drive in North Vancouver, currently home to a Kia dealership. The residential may be rental or strata, or a mix of both. The total density proposed is 2.3 FSR. The Kia dealership would then be relocated as part of the proposal to 843-855 West 1st Street in a brand new dealership building.

Construction on Telus’ new Downtown Vancouver headquarters is now progressing above ground. The 22-storey complex is scheduled to be complete in early 2015.

The Edgemont Senior Living project in North Vancouver will go to council for first reading next week. The proposal is for a 125-unit, 3-storey building on a site that currently consists of six single family lots. The units will be primarily independent living, with some assisted living units. The developer is proposing to pay a CAC of $500,000, which is estimated to be 50% of the increase in land value through rezoning. More information can be found here.

After more than a year constructing the underground parkade, construction at the site of the new luxury hotel/residential project at 1153 West Georgia Street, has reached grade level. Sales are expected commence later this year. The developer, Holborn Group, had originally anticipated completion by 2010, but the project was delayed.
