GBL Architects Inc. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop an 11,484 SF, C-2 zoned site at the corner of West 17th Avenue and Heather Street. The site is currently improved with a 3-storey walkup apartment building with ground floor retail.

Basic plan details consist of a 4-storey mixed use building with:

• one level of Retail and four levels of Residential
• 16 units
• 10 two-bedrooms and 6 three-bedrooms
• total density of 2.44 FSR
• 2 levels of underground parking, having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing C-2 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The site was listed for sale in early 2016 and sold to a numbered company for $9,100,000, or $325 per buildable SF.

Landa Global has submitted their development application for the Burritt Bros site at Main Street and 20th in East Vancouver. Landa acquired the site at 3594 Main Street in a bid process in September 2015, for $11,400,000. Landa was featured in the Globe and Mail at the time of sale.

The plans for the 16,963 SF, C-2 zoned site includes:

• a 4-storey building
• 6,275 SF of ground floor retail
• 45 rental apartment units
• “high percentage” of family-friendly two-bedroom units
• 2.5 FSR density
• one level of underground parking with access from the lane

The architect for the project is Yamamoto Architecture.
