Wall Financial has submitted a preliminary development proposal for a property they own, known as ‘Peter Wall Ambleside’ at 1552 Esquimalt Avenue in the Ambleside area of West Vancouver.

The proposal is the latest iteration of several proposals to densify the 1.90 acre site over the years, beginning as far back as 2016. Previous plans included new rental infill but the most recent version was placed on hold pending the outcome of the Ambleside Local Area Plan.

The existing 20-storey apartment building was constructed in 1969 and contains 185 rental units. It is located on the east portion of the site.

The new application envisions a 19-storey condo building (secured as rental units for the first 6 years). Details include:

• 139 condo units (secured as rental for a 6-year term)
  • 68 one bedrooms
  • 68 two-bedrooms
  • 3 townhouse units
• a total density of 3.0 FSR across the entire site.

The architects for the project are JOG Architecture and Chris Doray.
