Larco has submitted their development application to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop the second phase of the redeveloped Arbutus Village Shopping Centre property – a project plan originally conceived almost ten years ago.
The overall rezoning for the site was approved back in July 2011, with the first phase “Block A” having been approved in late 2015 and now under development to include 215 units and a new Safeway store. Each phase requires a separate development permit.
The plan for “Block B” calls for development of the Southeast corner of the 7-acre site, currently surface parking, with a 7-storey apartment building with retail at grade, including the following:
- 170 rental apartment units
- 37 studios, 24 one-bedrooms, 74 two-bedrooms & 35 three-bedrooms
- 29,400 SF of retail space (including relocated BMO and BC Liquor Store)
- two levels of underground parking accessed off of Yew Street
Construction of Block B is scheduled to complete in 2019.
The final phase of the project involves demolition and redevelopment of the existing shopping centre, with completion of the entire project targeted for 2022.
The architect for the project is Dialog.
