Here’s a look at resales data for condo unit resales in the City of Vancouver. Not only have the last few months shown record sales activity, pricing has risen noticeably, from the low $400k range in 2013, to just under $600k in the spring of 2016.

Here’s an update on one of Vancouver’s most unheard of projects. It’s an 18-storey residential tower on the site of what used to be the Legg Residence, a heritage mansion that was demolished in order to protect a tulip tree on the site.

The project started construction in 2014 after years of delays, and now appears to nearing completion of the exterior build.

Conwest Residential has applied to the City of Vancouver to develop a new townhouse project on a 13,490 SF RM-7 zoned land assembly in the Norquay Village area of East Vancouver. The site is located on Ward Street, just West of Earles Street. Details of the proposal include:

• 16 townhouse units in two buildings
• a total density of 1.20 FSR (16,188 SF);
• a building height of 37.42 feet
• 12 surface parking spaces having  vehicular access from the lane;

Under the site’s existing RM-7 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is b2 architecture inc.
