Westbank Corp. has taken over a proposed rental tower site in the West End. The site, located at 1754-1772 Pendrell Street, was originally proposed for a rezoning back in 2010 for a market condo project by DTKH with some rental units. The newly revised application by Westbank includes:
- A 21 storey tower, with a maximum height of 190 ft
- 171 rental units, including 43 studios, 51 One-Bedroom, 72 Two-Bedroom, and 3 Three-Bedroom units
- A density of 6.55 FSR
Westbank has recently recieved occupancy on their other new West End rental tower, The Lauren, also designed by Henriquez.
An application has been filed for a 90 x 132 ft., C-2 zoned property at 540 Victoria Drive in the Grandview Woodlands area of East Vancouver. The proposed plan includes:
- a new 4-storey building
- 2 CRU’s on the main floor (one for a new Bosa Foods store)
- 27 rental apartment units on the 2nd to 4th floors
- A density of 2.38 FSR (1.75 residential)
- 1 level of underground parking
Cornerstone Architecture explains the rationale for the project:
“This development provides a mixed-use residential and commercial building that will stand as a legacy project for the Bosa Foods company, which has been a long term part of the community. The development is to provide a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom rental suites across the upper 3 storeys.”
