Kenstone Properties has submitted their development application to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 28,227 SF C-2 zoned site at 6020-6040 East Boulevard in Kerrisdale. 

Kenstone acquired the properties in 2017 for $26,000,000. The properties are currently improved with two older walkup apartment buildings.

The plan for the site is for a new 4-storey building that includes:

• 47 condo units;
  • 12 one-bedrooms, 18 two-bedrooms, 16 three-bedrooms & 1 four-bedroom;
  • 9 units accessed from the laneway frontage;
• 8,831 SF of retail space in 9 CRU units;
• a total density of 2.50 FSR;
• a building height of approximately 45.3 ft; and
• 123 parking stalls on two levels of underground parking providing 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 architect for the project is McFarlane Biggar Architects & Designers.
