A rezoning application has been submitted for a 66 foot, mid-block site at 3353 Cambie Street, on the West side of Cambie between West 17th and West 18th Avenues. The site is currently improved with older single storey retail.
The proposal is to rezone from the current C-2 zoning under the Cambie Corridor Plan to allow a new 6-storey office building. The proposal includes:
3,200 SF of ground floor retail/restaurant space;
4,700 SF of childcare space on 2nd floor
16,200 SF of office space on levels 3 to 6;
A total density of 3.0 FSR;
A building height of 78 ft.;
36 parking spaces and 10 Class A bicycle parking spaces.
The architect for the project is Radiant City Architecture Inc.
Appia Development has applied to the City of Burnaby to amend the plan for the fourth and final tower at Solo District in Brentwood. The four tower project is over half completed with the first two towers complete and the third tower, Cirrus well into construction. The second tower, Altus, includes 12 floors and 260,000 SF of office space.
The approved master plan for the site envisioned a 48-storey residential tower for the Southeast corner of the site fronting Willingdon, with a small amount of restaurant space.
The revised proposal increases the office portion of the tower from a 4-storey podium to a 18-storey podium, an increase of 160,000 SF of office space.
The fourth tower will now be 40 feet taller, but slightly shorter than Altus.
Details of the proposed changes include:
Increase in the office podium from 4-storeys to 18-storeys;
Increased in office space from 46,837 SF to 187,127 SF;
Total increase in height from 48 to 52-storeys;
No change in residential unit count (319);
Increase in retail space from 4,754 SF to 11,945 SF;
A development application has been submitted to the City of Vancouver for an overhaul of the exterior of 333 Seymour Street, a 17-storey office building at Seymour and Cordova.
The building has been undergoing upgrades to it’s ground floor, lobby and podium since last year.
The proposal for the new exterior includes:
a cladding upgrade on the tower portion of the building (levels 3-17) to improve envelope performance;
a new 3,230 SF rooftop amenity space for building tenants; including kitchenette, lounge and outdoor terrace;
new exterior lighting and signage.
Existing building
Renderings also indicate that building signage will be included for Salesforce, a tenant in the building.
The application describes the new facade design: “The existing facade consists of a curtain wall system with an approximate 50/50 modulation between spandrel and vision glass. This results in a distinct, strong horizontal banding expressed in the tower massing. As part of the envelope upgrade, the project proposes to update the appearance of the tower, emphasizing a more vertical expression.
The application also describes the new rooftop space: “The north-facing side of the existing roof is proposed to be converted to an amenity space for building tenants. The siting of the terrace takes advantage of the views towards the waterfront and the north shore mountains.
Some of the program is to be allocated to a partial interior/exterior rooftop terrace, to include:
a refreshed elevator vestibule
new toilet rooms
enclosed kitchenette/lounge with operable glass walls
outdoor terrace”
The roof dome will also be refinished to match the new dark grey cladding used at columns and the roof top perimeter “frame”.
