Listraor, a local development company that specializes in townhouses, is planning their third development near Oak and 41st, in between two other townhouse project already approved earlier this year.

Currently zoned RS-1, the lots in question total 14,392 and are being proposed for rezoning to townhouse under the Oakridge Langara Policy Statement. Details include:

• 2 buildings, with a maximum height of 4 storeys (38 ft.);
• 12 market townhouse units between 1,387 and 1,511 SF
• a density of 1.20 FSR;
• 24 underground parking spaces;
• 24 bicycle spaces.

The site sits between two other Listraor projects that have already been approved. To the North is a 12-unit townhouse project, and to the South – a 19-unit townhouse project.

Tianco Group has applied to rezone a 26,579 SF site at 526-548 West King Edward Avenue from RS-1 to CD-1 under the guidelines of the Cambie Corridor Plan. The proposal is for a 6-storey residential building and five townhouses along the lane, including:

• 69 residential units;
• a maximum building height of 63 ft.;
• a density of 2.45; and
• 65 underground parking spaces.

The site is an assembly of three single family lots that were assembled and sold in 2011.

More details on the rezoning application can be found here.

A preliminary design concept has been released for Bosa Properties’ site at 1500 West Georgia. While still in the early stages and not yet submitted as a formal application, the development plan looks promising and certainly different. The property currently has an office building and the Eastern portion of the site can be redeveloped with a new residential tower. Details on the project from the architect, Ole Scheeren:

“Architect Ole Scheeren has unveiled his first solo project outside of Asia – a Vancouver skyscraper that will feature a series of offset apartments protruding from the facade in a cluster of irregularly stacked glass boxes (+ slideshow).”
