Over two years after originally unveiling plans for a new rental tower at Lonsdale and 13th, Hollyburn Properties is now close to final council approval. Hollyburn has had to seek a relaxation to the OCP height limits for the site – previously affirmed as 121 feet in the OCP. The current proposal is for a 187 ft tower. The plan is for a 19-storey mixed-use development that includes:

• 16-storeys of residential with 144 rental housing units
• a partial storey of amenity space, over a two storey, 27,290 SF retail and office podium including 6 CRU units
• a total density of 4.80 FSR

The site is currently zoned ‘C-1A’ which allows for a density of 2.6 FSR. The OCP allows for density of 3.0 FSR with a Density Bonus up to a maximum of 1.0 FSR in the Mixed Use Level 4B Designation for a total maximum density of 4.0 FSR. A maximum height of 37 metres (120 feet) is currently established for the site and the site has been designated a “Special Study Area” in anticipation of further exploration of appropriate form. The proposal includes the purchase of 0.8 FSR (22,186 SF) of rental transfer density at a rate of $90 / sq. ft., resulting in a cash contribution to the City of $1,996,758.

Hua Long International Technical Investment has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone a 27,764 SF, C-2 zoned site at 2153-2199 Kingsway (at the Northwest corner of Gladstone) for a 6-storey rental apartment building.

The proposal includes:

• 101 market rental apartment units;
• 45 studio units, 18 1-bedroom units, 31 two-bedrooms & 7 three-bedrooms
• A total density of 3.37 FSR (93,651 SF);
• 14,499 SF of ground-floor retail space;
• A building height of 71.4 ft.;
• Two floors of underground parking, with access from the lane to the north of the site.

This application is being considered under the Secured Market Rental Housing (Rental 100) Policy.

The site, which comprises four separate lots, had been assembled over a period between 2010 and 2015.

The rezoning application can be viewed here.
