A walk-up apartment building in Metrotown has sold for $10,400,000, or $216,667 per unit. The building is located on a 32,500 SF site at 6425 Silver Avenue, just south of a number of large-scale developments on Beresford Street. The zoning for the property is RM-3 and it is not known if the OCP will permit a higher density when the new Metrotown Area Plan is released. The buyer was a local investor.

A rezoning application has been submitted for 6380 & 6420 Silver Avenue by Belford Properties for two highrise towers on the 81,400 SF site. The application seeks rezoning under the C-2 and RM-5s designations in the Metrotown Centre Plan.

A previous rezoning application had been made in 2012 for 6380 Silver Avenue alone, but it was determined by the City that the lot area was insufficient to support a tall tower.

Rize Alliance‘s plan for two condo towers in Metrotown will take another step forward this month. “Gold House” is a 490-unit project consisting of a 41-storey tower and a 26-storey tower over a commercial and townhouse podium.

The 87,505 SF site is located at the corner of Beresford Street and McKay Avenue. The total proposed density is 6.3 FAR. The unit types are mostly studios and 2 bedrooms.

The project also includes 5,181 SF of retail on the ground floor, and 19,799 SF of office space on floors 2-5.
