GECC (Global Education Communities) has submitted a rezoning application for a site they own at the corner of Cambie & 48th in Vancouver.

The site was previously rezoned for a 10-storey, 78-unit market rental project, but was then sold in 2024 to GECC by Casey Weeks and Morgan Iannone of Colliers.

Under the new TOA rezoning policy, a new proposal “GEC Langara” has been brought forward to allow for the development of a 26-storey rental building and includes:

• 182 rental units (20% below market);
• 1,100 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 10.24 FSR; and
• A building height of 261 ft.

The application is being considered under the Transit-Oriented Areas Rezoning Policy and Cambie Corridor Plan. The application requests consideration of density and height in excess of the existing policies.

The 2024 sale at $17,500,000 equates to $111 per buildable SF.

The architect for the project is Urban Solutions Architecture.

Vittori Developments has submitted an application for a new 10-storey rental building on an assembly of two single family lots on West 27th Avenue, just East of Cambie Street. The combined lot size is 15,000 SF.

The lots are currently designated within the Cambie Corridor Plan for townhouses, but is located within Tier 2 – 400 meters of the King Edward Skytrain Station. Under the TOA rezoning policy, the site is allowed up to 12-storeys, 4.0 FSR.

The proposal for the site contemplates a 10-storey concrete rental apartment building that includes:

• 63 rental units (20% below market);
  • 27 one-bedroos, 18 two-bedrooms and 18 three-bedrooms;
• a total density of 4.0 FSR;
• a building height of 113 ft.
• 66 underground parking spaces on two levels.

Aria Pacific Development has submitted a rezoning application for a full city block site at Cambie Street between West 27th and West 28th Avenue in Vancouver.

The 40,444 SF site was acquired in 2022 for $34,000,000 ($284 per buildable SF based on this rezoning application).

The proposal is to allow for the development of a 7-storey concrete condo project that includes:

• 130 condo units;
  • 51 one-bedrooms, 63 two-bedrooms & 16 three-bedrooms;
• 10,700 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 2.96 FSR;
• A building height of 89 ft. with additional height for rooftop amenity space.

This application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect for the project is Rafii Architects Inc.

The application explains the rationale for not pursuing 12-storeys, 4.0 FSR in the TOA Rezoning Policy.

The site is located in the Tier 2 radius of the King Edward Canada Line transit station. It will allow a 12-storey building height and 4 FSR, rather than the 6-storey and 2.5 FSR guideline under the current zoning. Since there are numerous uncertainties associated with the proposed changes, this application is being submitted under the current zoning and design guidelines. However, some relaxations are being proposed.
