Darwin Properties has submitted a preliminary application for an OCP amendment to allow for redevelopment of 1225 Keith Road in North Vancouver. The 171,000 SF site is currently occupied by an older industrial/commercial complex.

The proposal envisions a relocation of the nearby North Shore Winter Club, as well as additional commercial space, a daycare and a rental apartment tower.

Details of the proposal include:

• A 23-storey, 222 unit rental apartment tower at the northeast corner;
• A new North Shore Winter Club (234,100 SF) in a 4-storey podium;
• A 3,000 SF child care facility to be owned by the City of North Vancouver;
• 30,215 SF of office and retail space.
• a total density of 2.40 FSR.

The proposal requires an OCP Amendment, as residential uses are not permitted in the ‘Mixed Employment’ OCP designation.

The architect for the project is Francl Architecture.

Adera has submitted a rezoning application to the City of North Vancouver for a property they own at 2762 Lonsdale Avenue in the Upper Lonsdale area of North Vancouver.

The 17,353 sq ft site is located mid-block on the east side of Lonsdale Avenue between 27th and 29th Streets. The site is currently improved with an older 3-storey walkup apartment building with 26 units.

The proposal is for a new 6-storey rental building that includes:

A new rezoning application has been submitted by Lotus Capital and Omicron to the City of North Vancouver for 705 West 3rd Street, currently home to Gardenworks.

The site is designated Mixed-use Level 2 in the OCP.

• 70 market rental units;
  • 4 studios, 47 one-bedrooms, 12 two-bedrooms & 7 three-bedrooms;
