Pacific Crown Management Company Ltd. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop the Southwest corner of Broadway and Cambie with a new office and retail building.

Most people will know the site as the Original Joe’s building with the Starbucks on the ground floor.

The proposal for the new development is for a 7-storey office building that includes:

• retail, restaurant and financial institution uses on the ground and second floors
• office use on the third to seventh floors;
• 61,381 SF of total floor area;
• a total density of 3.30 FSR;
• a total building height of 93 ft; and
• two levels of underground parking accessed from the lane.

Under the site’s existing C3-A zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Development Permit Board.

The architect for the project is W.T. Leung Architects Inc.
