Anthem Properties has submitted a rezoning and development permit application for a 41,000 SF site at the Northwest corner of St. Johns and Moray Street in the Inlet Centre area of Port Moody.

The proposal involves the development of a mixed-use project containing rental units, an institutional component consisting of religious and educational uses.

• 45,818 SF Jamatkhana cultural facility;

• 376 vehicle parking spaces for both residential and institutional uses, accessed off Moray Street.

Due to the slope of the site, much of the parking is above grade and may require an OCP amendment to allow for an increase in the total height of the residential component, which will be determined as the project review continues.

The architect for the project is Arcadis/IBI Group.

Westbank Corp. has submitted their formal rezoning application for a site at the Southwest corner of Main & 4th. This is one of the first rezoning applications to be put forward under the Broadway Plan.

The project, entitled ‘Prototype’ is envisioned as a case study of open-source mass timber construction and ‘Net Zero Lifecycle Carbon’. The concept was unveiled last year as a 21-storey tower and has since been refined, with an increased building height and fewer units.

The proposal is to allow for the development of a 25-storey mass-timber building on the southern portion of the site. The proposal includes:

• 210 total rental units;
• 168 market rental units;
• 42 below market rental units;
• 3,800 SF of retail space at grade;
• A total density of 6.22 FSR;
• A building height of 256 ft. with additional height for a rooftop amenity space;
• No vehicle parking spaces and 377 bicycle parking spaces;
• Mass timber construction; and
• Retention of the existing building on the northern portion of the site.

The application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

The architect for the project is Henriquez Partners.

The application describes a potential second phase on the North portion of the site that WeWork currently occupies:

“The overall site is proposed to be redeveloped in two phases, with the surface parking lot redeveloped as part of Phase 1 and the existing office building to be redeveloped as part of a future Phase 2. The Phase 1 redevelopment of the surface parking lot at the south portion of the site is the subject of this rezoning application.

We are proposing a hybrid mass timber rental housing tower with a density of 4.59 FSR for the residential tower, and a total of 6.22 FSR for Phase 1 (this rezoning application) including the existing M1 office building on the site. A future rezoning application for Phase 2 will include the demolition of the existing M1 building, to be replaced by a new retail podium and M6 tower, up to the maximum permitted 8.5 FSR.”

A rezoning application has been submitted by Vorden Development Corp. for an 18,487 SF site at 4906-4958 Main Street, at the southeast corner of Main Street and East 33rd Avenue within the Riley Park-Little Mountain neighbourhood of Vancouver.

The proposal plans to replace this 5-lot assembly with a new 6-storey rental building that includes:

• 72 market rental units;
  • 22 studios, 24 one-bedrooms, 14 two-bedrooms & 12 three-bedrooms;
• 8,000 SF retail space at grade;
• a total density of 3.20 FSR;
• A building height of 21.5 m (70.5 ft.); and
• 75 vehicle parking spaces and 147 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Affordable Housing Choices Interim Rezoning Policy.

The architect for the project is WT Leung.
