A preliminary development proposal has been submitted to the District of West Vancouver for a large property known as Taylorwood Place at the Northeast corner of Taylor Way and Keith Road.

Taylorwood Place is a 21-lot single family bare strata subdivision built in the 1970’s. A single entity, Taylorwood Investments Ltd., owns 19 of the 21 lots and is seeking to control 100% in the near future. 

The 6.56 acre site has been the subject of past attempts at redevelopment, including in 2010 by Polygon Homes who were seeking to build 160 condos on the site at a density of 0.75 FAR. For various reasons, that plan did not proceed.

Current planning efforts have been underway since 2015 and have been delayed pending a forthcoming Taylor Way Corridor study which is likely to occur by 2020. The proponent is now seeking community feedback and is offering public benefits in exchange for an OCP amendment.

After various stages of community consultation since 2017, the current version of the development proposal is summarized as follows:

• 390 units (condo and rental, with at least 40% of the units rental);
• 473,000 SF of gross buildable area;
• a total density of 1.66 FAR;
• five terraced mid-rise apartment forms (3-6-storeys);
• community facilities including childcare;
• underground parking.

Council will consider the direction of a preliminary development proposal for Taylorwood Place at its meeting on July 15, 2019. A rezoning application has not been received at this time.

The architect for the project is NSDA Architects.

A rezoning application has been submitted for a two-lot land assembly on the East side of Cambie Street between West 27th and West 28th Avenue. The site at 4338-4362 Cambie Street is 20,848 SF.

The proposal consists of a 6-storey residential building that includes:

  • 42 one-bedrooms, 18 two-bedrooms & 8 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 2.75 FSR;

The site was acquired in 2017 for $17,500,000 or $305 per buildable SF based on the application.

• Three residential towers – two at 28 storeys & one at 24-storeys;

  • 67 studios, 46 one-bedrooms, 66 two-bedrooms & 44 three-bedrooms;
• 30 Pearson supportive units;
• 85,019 SF of retail space;
• a significant public plaza at the Northeast corner to accomodate a potential future Canada Line Station;
• tower heights of 243 ft. & 285 ft.
• 5 levels of underground parking accessed from Paulson Street.

The application describes the design rationale: “The northern portion of the block has a single tower marking the corner of West 57th Ave. and Internal Street 2 with a mid-rise extension parallel to West 57th Ave. The northern and southern edges of the north building offer commercial spaces along West 57th Ave. and the internal public plaza. The southern block has two towers, each with a mid-rise extension. One tower sites at the southern edge of the transit plaza, serving as a landmark and reinforcing the plaza as the site gateway.”

The remaining phases comprise over one million square feet of additional market and non-market density.
