  • 16,200 SF of office space on levels 3 to 6;

Marcon Planning 242 Condo Units for Port Moody Site

Marcon has submitted a preliminary rezoning application for the site of the former Barnet Hotel at 2025 St. Johns Street in Port Moody.

Marcon acquired the site in 2019 for $18,800,000, or $97 per buildable SF.

The 97,059 SF site is now vacant and zoned C5. The OCP designates the site as ‘Mixed Use – Moody Centre’, which permits commercial and residential development ranging up to six storeys in height.

The proposal for the site is two 6-storey condo buildings, and includes:

  • 242 units;
  • 119 studios, 49 one-bedrooms, 70 two-bedrooms, 4 three-bedrooms;
  • 7,900 SF of commercial space at the Northeast corner of the site;
  • a total density of 2.23 FAR;
  • 322 parking spaces;
  • 9,000 SF of common amenity space.

The project describes the design rationale: “Given the gateway location of the site, the project seeks to elevate the architectural expression of the development in order create a memorable western entry into Port Moody center. This memory is firmly established by the interplay of multiple colourful glazed guards that populate the north and east facades of the project. These colourful panels, change with the day as the capture, reflect or cast coloured light onto the immediate surroundings.

Upper residential levels of the development sit upon a well-defined commercial base which is located at the intersection of Albert and St. John’s Streets. The commercial base is rendered in masonry which contrasts the corrugated metal cladding of the upper residential levels. The extent of this commercial occupancy is limited by the slope of the site in both the north/south and east/west directions. A glazed canopy wraps the commercial frontage, serving to further define the base while providing cover for those accessing the three commercial units. The masonry base is extended the full length of the development on both the east and north elevations by utilizing brick for the landscape walls. The expression of a strong base for the development is further accentuated by recessing and darkening the lowest level of the northern building.”

91-Units Proposed for East Broadway Site

Reliance Properties has submitted their development application for 471 East Broadway; a site that they acquired last year for $33 Million.

The site is located on the North side of Broadway encompassing the Eastern half of the block bounded on the West by Guelph Street and on the East by St. George Street.

The proposal for the 28,670 SF C-2C zoned site is a new 5-storey building that includes:

  • 91 condo units;
  • 40 studios, 27 one-bedrooms, 22 two-bedrooms & 2 three-bedrooms;
  • 16,000 SF of retail at grade;
  • a total density of 2.99 FSR;
  • a building height of 48 ft.;
  • 75 parking spaces on two levels of underground parking.

The application describes the design rationale: “Architecturally, the commercial ground plane forms a lightweight podium with a continuous glass canopy datum line accentuating the commercial base. A 24’ wide ‘urban room’ creates an indent to the building massing, creating the illusion of 2 buildings. This strategy is enhanced by the application of different materials to the two forms on Broadway; the West portion is brick clad with recessed or ‘carved-out’ balconies, while the East portion at the corner of St. George Street is clad in a light fibre cement panel system with an increasing gradation in visual weight towards the corner with punched windows with projecting eyebrow elements replacing carved-out balconies. This provides a more incremental expression to the overall development of the building frontage. The St. George elevation introduces the step down to the lane required by the C-2C zoning height envelope. This façade introduces materials symbiotic with the related RM-4 development to the North. On the lane, brick is introduced again to the townhouse form, reflecting its distinct residential character.”

The architect for the project is Integra Architecture.
