Wesbild Holdings Ltd. has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to subdivide and develop a portion of a 5.0 acre site at 8188-8232 Manitoba Street, just South of Marine Drive.

The zoning for the site is I-2 which permits a density up to 3.0 FSR for a mix of industrial and office uses.

The proposed development would sit on a 3.2 acre parcel and will include two unique 6-storey industrial/office buildings. Details include:

• 231,000 SF of industrial space on levels 1-4;
• 108,235 SF of office space on levels 5-6;
• a total density of 2.42 FSR;
• a building height of 93 ft.;
• 439 parking stalls on one level of underground parking and at grade.

To accommodate mid-floor industrial tenants, the building will feature a number of unique building elements, including:

• Increased underground parking clearance height;
• Exterior corridors on all floors & separation of freight & pedestrian traffic;
• Cross Laminated Timber construction for the office space.

The application also notes that most of the potential mid-floor industrial tenants would be conditional approval uses under the I-2 zoning and that flexibility may be required in order to make the project work.

The architect for the project is MGBA Architecture.
