Dolphin Cinemas building up for redevelopment.

The building that houses Burnaby’s popular Dolphin Cinemas is up for redevelopment.

The rezoning application for the development came before Burnaby council at Monday night’s meeting.

Intergulf Development Group has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone seven single family lots at Cambie and West 29th. The site, located at 4533-4591 Cambie Street will be rezoned from RS-1 to CD-1, as provided under the Cambie Corridor Plan. The proposal is for three 6-storey residential buildings containing 177 units and 8 townhouses, with 20 per cent of the total number of units (37 units) being provided as market rental housing. The proposal includes a density of 2.62 FSR and 195 underground parking spaces.

The development is broken down into three seperate blocks that follow the natural curve of Cambie Street. The individual buildings offer variation in scale and length while remaining consistent in character and materiality.

Blue Sky Properties has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 633 Main Street, at the Northwest corner of Main and Georgia, from HA-1A (Historic Area) District to CD-1 District. The proposal is for a 16-storey mixed-use building with ground-level commercial uses and 151 residential units. The proposal includes a density of 9.29 and a maximum height of 150 ft., and 158 parking spaces.

The site was sold to Blue Sky Properties in 2011 by Colliers. More information about the project can be found here.
