Landmark Premiere Properties have submitted a rezoning application for a new market rental building on a 33,000 SF, 6-lot land assembly on Lord Street in the Marpole area of Vacnouver.

The site at 540 West 65th Ave and 8120-8168 Lord Street is currently improved with six single family houses and sits directly North of Onni’s Northwest condo project at Cambie & Marine.

The proposal for the site is to allow for the development of two 6-storey residential buildings over two levels of underground parking. The zoning would change from the existing single family RS-1 zoning to CD-1 District. The proposal includes:

• 146 market rental units (including 5 below market units);
  • 36 studios, 60 one-bedrooms, 36 two-bedrooms & 14 three bedrooms;
• a total density of 2.88 FSR;
• A building height of 66 ft.; and
• 75 vehicle parking spaces and 277 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The architect for the project is Francl Architecture.

Mosaic Homes has submitted a rezoning application for a four-lot land assembly that they own at 4711-4787 Cambie Street in Vancouver.

The site is a full city block on the West side of Cambie Street between West 31st and West 32nd Avenues, across from Queen Elizabeth Park.

The proposal for the 37,000 SF site includes two 6-storey residential buildings with two single-storey amenity buildings at the lane. Details include:

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The application describes the design: “The proposed vocabulary for this development is a Georgian-inspired contemporary architecture boasting dark brick material and elegantly proportioned window patterning for the lower floors and stepping back approximately eight feet on the two upper floors and using a less dominant light color to break the overall mass and create a transition to the future low-rise developments to the west.”

The architect for the project is Ciccozzi Architecture.

Coromandel Properties and Peterson Group have submitted two concurrent rezoning applications for sites in the Oakridge area. The rezonings contemplate two condo towers on Manson Street, and the required 30% social housing requirement to be placed on a nearby site at Ash Street and West 37th.

These applications represent the first transfer of social housing density between sites in the Cambie Corridor Plan. To date, no proposals have been made in the Oakridge Municipal Centre area with a blend of condo and social housing.

• 77 social housing units;
• a total density of 2.97 FSR;
• A building height of 75 ft.; and
• 31 vehicle parking spaces and 162 bicycle parking spaces.

The architect for the Ash Street project is NSDA Architects.

A full city block on the West side of Cambie Street between West 27th and West 29th has sold to Aria Pacific Development for $34,000,000 or approx. $336 per buildable SF based on an anticipated density of 2.50 FSR per the site’s 6-storey designation in the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The site had previously been assembled between 2016 and 2020 for a total of $40.8 Million by developer Amy Washington. It had been listed for sale since 2021 with a combined asking price of $39,920,000.
