Polygon Homes has applied to the City of Richmond for permission to rezone
lands in the City Centre’s Capstan Village area at 3551,3571,3591,3611, and 3631 Sexsmith Road, between Capstan Way and Cambie Road, to allow a new 13-storey high-rise residential development. The combined site totals 89,044 SF (67,000 after road dedication) in size and is comprised of five vacant single family lots.

The site is designated Urban Centre T5 in the City of Richmond’s City Centre Area Plan. The project lies just East of Polygon’s completed three tower project “Avanti”.

Details of the project, entitled “Fiorella” include:

• 157 condo units;
• 7 studios, 17 one-bedrooms, 112 two-bedrooms & 32 three-bedrooms;
• 11 affordable rental units;
• 779 SF of community amenity space in the form of two rentable-affordable-work studios for professional artists;
• a total density of 2.62 FAR;
• a total building height of 133 ft.

The architect for the project is Francl Architecture.

A rezoning application has been filed by Larco with the District of West Vancouver for the former Whitespot property at the Southwest corner of Marine and Taylor Way, part of Park Royal South. The rezoning had been proposed several times over the past six years, but was ultimately facilitated by the City’s passage of the Marine Drive Local Area Plan in 2017. The combined 2.3 acre site includes fee simple lands, as well as leasehold lands belonging to Squamish First Nation.

The proposed plan includes two residential buildings as well as commercial space. Details include:

• two buildings of 11 and 14-storeys in height;
• 203 total units including:
  • 143 condo units
  • 60 rental units (49 market and 11 non-market);
• 20,000 SF of retail space (plus 9,800 SF of retail on SFN lands);
• 3,900 SF of childcare space;
• a total density of 2.25 FAR;
• a 3,100 SF public plaza;
• 251 underground parking spaces.

The architect for the project is DIALOG.
