Zhong An Real Estate (Canada) Ltd. has acquired a much publicized single family estate development site in the British Properties area of West Vancouver referred to as Camelot Estates. The 5.4 acre site, which has preliminary approval for a 12-lot high-end subdivision, sold for $17.6 Million, or approximately $1.5 Million per lot. It is unknown if the new buyer will pursue the same proposal as the previous group.
A 69,000 SF office building located at 618 6th Avenue in the Uptown area of New Westminster has sold for $32,471,500, or $471 per SF. The 6-storey office building is anchored by RBC and was acquired off-market by Value Group.
Another midrise, mixed use condo building is coming to Lower Lonsdale.
Developer Fairborne Properties received second and third readings to a bylaw Monday night that will allow them to build 65 one-and two-bedroom condos above 7,200 square feet of commercial frontage at 117 – 135 West First St.
At 75 feet, the six-storey, wood-framed building fits within maximum height allowed in the official community plan.
In exchange for a small increase in density, Fairbourn is offering to restore and put heritage designation on the historic B.C. Telephone Commercial Building at 117 West First, currently home to flower shop Bella Doni and include 1,430 square feet of community amenity space fronting Rogers Plaza. City staff estimate the community space to have a value of $645,000.
The application includes a request for 146 parking spots – 24 more than the minimum required by city’s zoning bylaw. Council members, mainly accustomed to being asked
by developers to reduce the total number of required spaces, struggled with the request. The reason for the extra spaces, according to the developer, is that the condos are likely going to be popular with “downsizers” moving from single-family homes and wanting to keep two vehicles.
