61 Infill Rental Apartments Planned for West End Property

Starlight has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop two infill rental buildings on an existing apartment property they own at 1755 Haro Street in the West End.

The 138-unit, 19-storey concrete highrise known as Peter Manor, was originally built in 1970, and acquired by Starlight in 2018 as part of a four property portfolio sale for $247 Million.

The infill proposal for the property includes a new 6-storey apartment building fronting Haro Street, and a 3-storey townhouse building fronting the lane.

Details include:

  • 61 market rental units;
    • 28 one-bedrooms, 24-two-bedrooms & 9 three-bedrooms;
  • A building height of 61 ft.;
  • New density of 1.69 FSR.

Under the site’s existing RM-5A zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted. However, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is BHA Architecture.

21-Unit Building Planned for West End Parking Lot

A development application has been filed for a 66 ft. lot located in the West End; one of the last remaining surface parking lots in the West End. The site at 1021 Burnaby Street is located directly behind Celebrities Nightclub on Davie Street and serves as pay parking.

The plan for the RM-5A zoned, 8,646 SF site is a new 5-storey building that includes:

  • 21 market residential units (rental or condo not specified);
  • 12 junior one bedrooms, 4 one-bedrooms and five two-bedrooms;
  • a total density of 1.65 FSR;
  • a total building height of 50 ft.;
  • 20 underground parking spaces on one level underground.

 

The site is located in an area of the West End Plan that allows rezoning for towers potentially as high as 30-storeys; however, a site frontage of at least 130 feet is required. This particular site would also face additional restrictions including tower separation and shadowing onto Davie Street.

The architect for the project is Francl Architecture.

32-Storey Tower Planned for West End Site

A partnership between Strand Development and Intracorp has submitted an application to rezone a site located at 1055 Harwood Street, between Thurlow and Burrard in the West End area of Downtown Vancouver.

The proposal is for a 32-storey residential building with:

  • 82 market residential units;
  • 68 two-bedrooms, 8 three-bedrooms and 6 four-bedrooms;
  • 44 social housing units;
  • a density of 10.35 FSR;
  • four levels of underground parking with 156 vehicle parking stalls;
  • 158 bicycle parking spaces; and
  • a building height of 300 ft.

1055 Harwood_51055 Harwood_4 1055 Harwood_2 1055 Harwood_3The RM-5A zoned site was redesignated under the West End Community Plan, adopted in 2014. Currently occupied by a lowrise coop, the site was acquired in August 2016 for $40.5 Million.

The application describes the design rationale:

“The overall form for the proposed building is one that is familiar to the West End. The tower, as proposed, is a 32-storey tower interlocked with a very small 6,300 square foot, seven storey (60’) base, thereafter tapering into a slender 5,500 square foot floorplate for the remainder of the building’s tower element.
 
The building has been designed as a “tower in the park” with the use of concrete and brick to create an articulated base transitioning into a slender tower with a simple concrete frame featuring expansive windows, spandrel glass and spacious balconies that are predominately inset into the building’s facade.”
 
The architect for the project is NSDA Architects.
