Jameson Development Corp. has submitted a rezoning application for the former St. Mark’s Church site in Kitsilano at 1805 Larch Street. The site was sold by Colliers in May 2018 for $11,998,000.

The 150’x 118′ site is currently zoned RT-8. The rezoning proposes to permit the development of a new 5-storey rental residential building, including:

• • 63 rental units with a minimum of 20% of the residential floor area permanently secured for moderate income households;
    • 19 studios, 16 one-bedrooms, 20 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
  • a total density of 2.55 FSR;
  • a building height of 66 ft.; and
  • 56 underground parking spaces and 113 bicycle spaces.

This application is being considered under the Moderate Income Rental Housing Pilot Program (MIRHPP). This policy requires that at least 20% of the residential floor area (of total FSR) is to be made available to households earning between $30,000 & $80,000 per annum. 

The architect for the project is Metric Architecture.

A rezoning application has been submitted for a 30,000 SF land assembly at the Southwest corner of West King Edward Avenue and Ash Street in the Cambie Corridor area. The site at 620-644 West King Edward Avenue & 4111 Ash Street is currently zoned RS-1.

The site was assembled by Western Construction in 2016 for $19,230,000, or $351 per buildable SF based on the application.

The proposal consists of two 4-storey residential buildings and one three-storey townhouse building and includes:

• 59 condo units;
  • 36 one-bedrooms, 14 two-bedrooms and 9 three-bedroom units;
• a total density of 1.74 FSR;
• a building height of 49 ft.; and
• 77 underground parking spaces and 74 bicycle spaces.

This rezoning application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect for the project is WT Leung Architects.

Anthem Properties has submitted their rezoning application for the former Chevron site at 1698 West Georgia Street that they acquired in 2017.

The plan for the 18,955 SF site is a 33-storey residential tower that includes:

• 127 condo units;
  • 1 studio, 24 one-bedrooms, 71 two-bedrooms & 31 three-bedrooms;
• a building height of 326 ft.;
• a total density of 9.39 FSR;
• 213 vehicle parking spaces and 335 bike stalls.

The application describes the design rationale: “Rising noticeably lower than rest of the upcoming and proposed developments in the neighborhood, our building height at 1698 W Georgia Street respects the descending skyline, moving from downtown Vancouver towards Stanley Park.

The asymmetrical tower top ensures a gradual transition of the skyline along both W Georgia street and Bidwell street, and also brings diversity to the mostly uniform skyline of the neighborhood.

The facade design takes inspiration from the fine textures on the mountain rocks, made by numerous facets and cracks.

Gently twisting in profile, subtly varying in color, the uniquely designed vertical facade fins help break up the monotony and the severity of an all-glass tower and create a dynamic facade that animates the building through different views and angles of sunlight.”

This application is being considered under the West End Community Plan and Rezoning Policy for the West End. 

The architect for the project is internationally renowned Kohn Pedersen Fox in partnership with local architect Chris Dikeakos.
