Two properties on Oak Street go before City of Vancouver council next week seeking rezoning for rowhouse developments.

6110-6170 Oak Street & 975 West 46th Ave is a 42,144 SF site located at the northeast corner of Oak and West 46th Avenue. Listraor Homes is proposing to rezone the property from RS-1 to CD-1 to permit a 33 unit rowhouse development under the guidelines of the Oakridge Langara Policy Statement (OPLS). Listraor purchased the property in 2012 as an assembly of single family lots for a total of $9,295,000.

6010-6050 Oak Street is a 24,574 SF site located on the east side of Oak Street between 43rd and 45th Avenues. The owner is proposing to rezone the property from RS-1 to CD-1 to permit a multiple-dwelling development with 19 strata-titled rowhouse units and 9 lock-off units at a floor space ratio (FSR) of 1.2. This site was an assembly of single family lots purchased in 2010 for a combined value of $5,450,000.

Blue Mountain low-rise condo proposal gets step closer.

A four-storey, 88-unit condo building is one step closer to being approved for a residential street in Austin Heights.

Coquitlam council approved zoning amendments for the building that would go from 953 to 969 Charland Ave., east of Blue Mountain Street, at Monday’s meeting after a public hearing.

More highrises for Metrotown.

Three three-story apartment buildings in the Metrotown area could be demolished to make way for two highrises.

The first is an application from Concord Pacific for a multi-family highrise with a townhouse component at 6550 Nelson Ave.

A few blocks west of Metropolis at Metrotown and Station Square, another developer is proposing a replacement of two older three-storey rental apartment buildings at 6225 and 6255 Cassie Ave. with a highrise tower.
