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.

  • 76 one-bedrooms, 146 two-bedrooms & 26 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 5.6 FSR;
• A building height of 197 ft.; and
• 266 vehicle parking spaces and 567 bicycle parking spaces.
