The proposal is to allow for the development of 38-storey and 52-storey rental towers and includes:

• 1,136 market rental units;
• 11,000 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 12.11 FSR;

Third Space Properties has submitted a development application for a site at 10th & Discovery in the Point Grey Village area of Vancouver. The plan for the site includes a new 6-storey rental building with:

• 69 market rental units;
• 6,200 SF of retail space;
• a density of 3.50 FSR;
• a building height of 72 ft.;
• Two levels of underground parking with access off the lane.

Under the site’s existing C-2 zoning, the application is conditional so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

From a media release: “Residents will have access to shared indoor and outdoor amenities, including a versatile lounge and coworking area designed to provide space for gathering, studying, and working. The building design seeks to fit into the existing village scale, while serving as a gateway to Point Grey Village. Streetscapes along both 10th Avenue and Discovery Street have been carefully planned, featuring active retail and residential frontages, alongside generous setbacks to encourage comfortable movement, adding to the vibrancy of one of Vancouver’s oldest village centres, Point Grey.”

Teh architect for the project is Integra Architecture.

Rezoning and special development permit applications have been submitted by Merchant House Capital to the City of New Westminster for a site at 65 1st Street on the Eastern edge of the Downtown area of New Westminster, near the Pattullo Bridge.

The 49,729 SF site is improved with an 1980’s era lowrise strata building with 61 units that was converted to rentals, called Kinnaird Place.

The site is currently zoned RM-2 which allows a density of 1.80 FSR, but under the new TOA legislation, the site can be built up to 3.0 FSR.

The proposal for the site is for two towers, 35-storeys and 30-storeys in height, and includes:

• 633 residential units;
  • a 329 unit rental tower;
  • a 304 unit condo tower;
• a total density of 10.58 FSR;
• building heights of 400 ft. and 344 ft.;
• 401 underground parking stalls.

The architect for the project is Arcadis.

The site was acquired by Merchant House in 2021 for $22,750,000, or $45 per buildable SF based on the proposed density in the application. The site was listed an sold by Macdonald Commercial in 2021.
