Westbank and Hootsuite have submitted their formal development application for a 2.8 acre site in Mount Pleasant. The site is divided by a lane and fronts onto Ontario Street between East 4th and East 5th Avenue. 

The I-1 zoning for the site was amended by the City of Vancouver earlier this year to I-1A and I-1B, to allow for more flexible uses, density and building form; essentially to accommodate Hootsuite’s use in the Westbank proposal for the subject site.

The proposal for the two sites includes:

102 East 4th Avenue (the North site)

• A 8-storey mixed-use building containing Industrial and Office uses 
• An approximate height of 107 ft.; and
• A total density of 5.0 FSR (148,918 SF); and,
• 5 levels of underground parking providing a total of 394 parking spaces having vehicular access from the lane.

110 East 5th Avenue (the South site)

• A 9-storey mixed-use building containing Industrial and Office uses
• An approximate height of 122 ft.; 
• A total density of 6.0 FSR (142,579 SF); and
• 5 levels of underground parking providing a total of 287 parking spaces having vehicular access from the lane
