A rezoning application has been submitted for the redevelopment of a site in the Central Lonsdale area of Vancouver.

The site is located at 1536-1550 Eastern Avenue, directly South of a project completed by Anthem Properties in 2022. A previous application was made for the site in 2022 that included a two-level, 18-space childcare facility. The application was denied by the City of North Vancouver.

The revised application includes a 13-storey market rental building with a smaller childcare space on the ground floor, including:

• 118 rental units;
• 24 studios, 65 one-bedrooms, 14 two-bedrooms & 15 three-bedrooms;
• 13 mid market rental units;
• a 9,400 SF, 81 space daycare
• a total density of 3.45 FSR;
• 93 parking spaces.

The architect for the project is Rafii Architects.

Rize Alliance Properties and Minto Group have submitted their rezoning application for a 6-lot land assembly at 5350-5430 Heather Street in the Oakridge area of Vancouver.

The plan calls for the development of two 18-storey buildings over 4-storey podiums and includes:

• 344 market rental units;
• 20% of the floor area secured for below market rental units (approximately 69 units);
• A total density of 6.28 FSR;
• A building height of 175.0 ft.; and
• 226 vehicle parking spaces and 642 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect for the project is Dialog.

The site was acquired in January of this year for $47,300,000, or $178 per buildable SF based on the rezoning application.

Quadreal has submitted a pre-consultation application for the eventual redevelopment of the Capilano Mall site in North Vancouver.

The 17 acre site will require an OCP Amendment for an eventual rezoning and redevelopment based upon a new master plan for the site.

The site is one of the largest single sites in the City of North Vancouver.

The new master plan for the site will be shaped over an extensive process with the City that will factor in a variety of development considerations, site constraints, planning policy and community and stakeholder consultation.

The City of North Vancouver outlines the development process for the project as follows:

• Step 1: Pre-consultation / Early Direction
• Step 2: Initial OCP Amendment application submission
• Step 3: Opportunities and Constraints
• Step 4: Options Development
• Step 5: Preferred Master Plan Concepts
• Step 6: Full OCP Amendment Application/ Rezoning Submission
• Step 7: Review of OCP Amendment Application/ Rezoning
• Step 8: Council Consideration

Staff recommend that Council proceed to process an application for the project, with further details expected later this year.

The planning/architecture firm involved is Dialog.
