Bentall Kennedy has submitted a rezoning application for the site it owns at 1090 West Pender Street, currently an 11-storey office building.

Bentall acquired the property from West Pender Property Group in 2011 for $19,500,000 as part of a transaction that included a trade of 50% interest in 1050 West Pender Street.

The plan calls for a new 31-storey office building with:

• 564,000 SF of office space with retail and service uses on the lower two levels;
• 486 underground parking spaces;
• a total density of 18.0 FSR
• a total height of 403 ft. (about the same height as Bentall 3)

West Vancouver council voted this evening in favour of Grosvenor’s development for the 1300-block of Marine Drive.

Two new buildings — one six storeys and the other seven — will be built on the Ambleside-area block, which currently houses the West Vancouver police department, an empty lot and a handful of small stores and restaurants. The mixed-use development will have 98 residential units with commercial and office space below.

Plans show a public atrium and underground parking lot will join the two buildings. “We have evaluated that project from side to side – believe me – to make sure it was the right deal for West Vancouver,” said Mayor Michael Smith, who has made it his mission to revitalize Ambleside so more people are drawn to the waterfront.
