A development permit application has been filed for the third phase and final tower at Seylynn Village, a 5.7 acre site that will total 790 units and commercial space when completed. The original rezoning for the site in the Lynn Creek area was approved in 2012 and the development has been ongoing since that time with the soon to be completed 28-storey Compass tower, and the already completed Beacon building as well as a 6-storey non-market rental building. The total density for Seylynn Village at rezoning is 3.2 FSR.

Our team acted in the sale of the site in 2011.

The final building, entitled “Apex” will be located at the intersection of Mountain Highway and Fern Street.

Details of the 32-storey tower include:

• 274 condo units;
• 113 one-bedrooms, 122 two-bedrooms, 38 three-bedrooms & 1 four-bedroom;
• 8,782 SF of retail space fronting Mountain Hwy;
• a total building height of 322 feet;
• 373 parking stalls on two underground levels.

A development application has been filed for a site at 7549-7575 Oak Street in the Marpole area of Vancouver, just south of West 59th Avenue. The assembly of four single family lots is currently zoned RM-8N.

The proposal is for a stacked townhouse development, including:

• • 31 units (all 2-4 bedroom units);
  • a total density of 1.20 FSR;
  • four buildings having a partial third storey and one building having a two-storey height;
  • maximum building heights of 37.7 ft.; and
  • a total of 32 parking spaces and 39 bicycle spaces on site.

Under the site’s existing RM-8N zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The application describes the design rationale: “Given the site depth almost doubling other Vancouver standard lots, we have introduced stacked townhouses, back-to-back stacked townhouses in combination of courtyard rowhouses typologies to this development. The diversity of the development allows more housing choices and increases the affordability without compromising the livability of the units.”

The architect for the project is Gradual Architecture Inc.

The site was acquired in early 2018 for $14,977,000, or $488 per buildable SF based on the application.

We are pleased to reintroduce 1860 Barclay Street, the only 33 ft. lot in the West End permitted for a 6-storey infill development building. This is a unique opportunity for a builder or owner occupier to acquire a site with permits in place and immediate development potential. 

The site is offered at $5,980,000.
