A development application has been filed with the City of Vancouver for the former Terminal City Ironworks site, a 2.3 acre full city block in East Vancouver located at 1900 Pandora Street, with frontage on Franklin St., Victoria Dr. and Semlin Dr. The site, zoned I-2 industrial, was offered for sale in 2014 with Cushman Wakefield for $14.9M.

The history of the site, including its more recent use predominantly as a film shoot location, was reported by the Vancouver Sun earlier this year.

The current development proposal from Conwest Developments anticipates two new buildings including the following:

• a 4-storey wholesale/office building accessed off of Pandora St.
• a 3-storey wholesale building accessed of of Franklin St.
• one level of underground parking
• total building area of 202,262 SF
• total density of 2.06 FSR

The use and density are conditional under the zoning and therefore requires approval of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is Taylor Kurtz.

A development application has been filed by Next Pacific Ventures Ltd. for a 6,754 site on East Pender Street near Clark Drive. The plan for the I-2 zoned property at 1257 East Pender Street includes:

• a 7-storey industrial building
• 20,262 SF of floorspace (6,700 SF of office and 9,200 SF of workshop space)
• manufacturing and general office uses
• 2 levels of underground parking

The application is conditional under the I-2 zoning, which permits a height up to 100 ft. and allows some general office space in conjunction with industrial uses.
