Onni has submitted their rezoning and development permit application a large scale mixed-use development on a primarily vacant site at the Southeast corner Pinetree Way and Glen Drive in Coquitlam City Centre. The 2.7 acre site is vacant and was partially previously owned by the City of Coquitlam. The site sits just 500 feet from Lincoln Skytrain Station.

Directly to the East is another application for a 40-storey tower by Polygon at 1108 Westwood Street. The two sites were acquired via public sale of the lands in 2016.

The site can be rezoned per the City Centre Area Plan from City Centre
Commercial (C-4) and One-Family Residential (RS-l) to CD-11 Comprehensive
Development (CD-ll), based on the C-4 Zone, and the overall development plan includes three residential towers over retail and office space. Details include:

• Towers of 49, 45 and 25-storeys above a podium;
• 891 residential units
  • 705 condos;
    • 321 one-bedrooms, 289 two-bedrooms & 95 three-bedrooms;
  • 186 market rental units;
    • 40 studios, 66 one-bedrooms, 49 two-bedrooms & 31 three-bedrooms;
• 17,000 SF of retail space;
• 46,520 SF of office space on floors 2-5 of the podium;
• a total density of 7.32 FAR;
• total tower heights of 514 ft, 472 ft and 258 ft. respectively;
• 67,000 SF of common amenity space;
• An 8,500 SF daycare;
• 1,329 parking spaces;
• $31 Million in density bonus funds and CACs.

The architect for the project is Cicozzi Architecture.

We are pleased to introduce 555 Beatty Street, an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a 50 ft. lot primed for commercial development directly across from a Skytrain Station and in amongst one of Vancouver’s trendiest and most sought after neighbourhoods. The site does not require rezoning, and allows development up to 7.0 FSR. 

Please contact us for further details about the property.

Reliance Properties has submitted their formal application to rezone 1166 West Pender Street, currently a 15-storey office building located on an 18,630 SF site. Reliance acquired the site through an off-market sale by our team in 2016 for $71,400,000 shortly after which the building’s sole tenant, Canada Revenue Agency, vacated the building. The building has subsequently been leased by another federal government tenant on a shorter term basis.

The plan to redevelop the property envisions as 31-storey office building, to the maximum height allowable when factoring building shadowing performance into account.

The rezoning proposal includes:

• 355,000 SF of office space;
• Average floorplates of 12,181 SF;
• 3,500 SF of retail space;
• a total density of 18.73 FSR;
• a building height of 387.5 ft.;
• six levels of underground parking with 199 vehicle parking stalls and 198 Class A bicycle parking spaces.

The application describes the architectural building character as follows: “1166 West Pender will house 31 floors of office space, blending high design, ecological responsibility, and civic enhancement. The building brings strategic densification to the area, adding 354,978 sf of office space and commercial amenities to a constrained site in the downtown Coal Harbour neighbourhood. Replacing an existing 15-storey office tower, the sinuous 31-storey tower will introduce a strong architectural presence and enhance the public realm. The shape and form of the tower are directly informed by the surrounding buildings and the limitations of the site. Convex and concave exterior walls respond to the contours of the adjacent buildings to form an undulating body wrapped in ceramic-fritted curtain wall glazing. A curved white glass curtain wall affords unobstructed views and establishes a distinct character and impressive presence. The ceramic frit also reduces thermal transmission, lowering heating and cooling costs and improving the building’s sustainability.”

This application is being considered under the Rezoning Policy for the Central Business District (CBD) and CBD Shoulder and the Higher Buildings Policy.
