Nine single family homes on the Cambie Street corridor between West 33^rd Ave and West 35^th Ave have sold for a total purchase price of $30,698,000. The price per sq ft of site area is $444. The lots are zoned single family (RS-1); however, the Cambie Corridor Plan allows for rezoning of the properties to permit a density of 2.25 FSR. Based on this density, the purchase price was $197 per buildable sq ft.

The houses each had lots of between 59-63 feet and sold for between $3,300,000 and $3,500,000.
