A development application has been submitted for a site on West 41st Avenue in Kerrisdale, just West of East Boulevard. The site at 2074 West 41st Avenue is currently improved with an older 2-storey retail and apartment building. 

The plan for redevelopment of the 13,100 SF C-2 zoned site is a new four-storey concrete mixed-use building, consisting of:

• Retail on the ground floor;
• Offices on the 2nd and 3rd floors;
• A 7-room hotel on the 4th floor;
• A total density of 2.50 FSR;
• A common garden and green roof on the rooftop level;
• three levels of underground parking having vehicular access from the lane.

The application describes the design rationale: “The architecture is classic, in recognition of the history of Kerrisdale and its image as an upscale community. The building is generally symmetrical. The exterior materials include manufactured stone facing, metal windows, architectural detailing and a masonry balustrade on the fourth level patio facing West 41st. Canvas awnings above the first level retail add interest and delight.”

The site was sold to Canada Golden Land Holdings in 2016 for $18,000,000.

The architect for the project is Rositch Hemphill Architects.

A development application has been submitted by Landa Global for their site at the Southeast corner of West 10th and Alma Street. The 23,300 SF, C-2 zoned site is now vacant and was previously an Esso gas station before Landa bought the site in 2015 for $18 Million (or $313 per buildable SF).

The plan for the site is a 4-storey, mixed-use commercial and residential building that includes:

• 32 market residential units;
• A total density of 2.48 FSR;
• A building height of 57,762 SF;
• 7 retail units at grade;
• 80 underground parking on two levels accessed from the rear 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 Rafii Architects.

A development application has been submitted for a 4,659 SF lot on the West side of Cambie between West 18th and West 19th Avenues.

The development proposal involves the development of a new 4-storey, mixed commercial and residential building consisting of:

• Dental office on the ground floor;
• 5 residential units above;
• 1 level of underground parking, having vehicular access from Tupper Street;
• A proposed building height of 44 ft;
• A total density of 2.16 FSR.

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 building sold in 2016 for $4,388,000, or $436 per buildable SF based on the development application.
