Sightline Properties has submitted a development application to the City of Vancouver for a 2-lot land assembly at the Southwest corner of West 41st Avenue and Maple Street in Kerrisdale.

The 17,750 SF site was rezoned under the Secured Rental Policy to RR-3B in February. This designation allows 6-storey buildings with ground floor commercial uses.

The plan for the project includes:

• 77 market rental units;
  • 20 studios, 30 one-bedrooms, 24 two-bedrooms & 3 three-bedrooms;
• 6,280 SF of retail space;
• A total density of 3.43 FSR;
• A proposed height of 72 ft.;
• Two levels of underground parking, providing a total of 44 parking spaces having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s proposed RR-3B 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 Yamamoto Architecture.

Strand Development has submitted a new rezoning application for a site they own at the corner of Burnaby and Thurlow Street in the West End.

The 17,286 SF site at 1068-1080 Burnaby Street was originally envisioned as a 30-storey luxury condo & social housing project at 9.01 FSR, and was approved for rezoning in 2018, though the zoning was never enacted.

More recent planning policy adopted by the City in 2022 allows for more flexibility in the delivery of rental housing in this subarea.

The new application is for a 34-storey residential building and includes:

• 287 market rental units;
• 10% residential floor area for social housing (approximately 24 units);
• 6,600 SF floorplates;
• A total density of 12.25 FSR;
• A building height of 295 ft; and
• 125 vehicle parking spaces and 515 bicycle parking spaces.

This application is being considered under the Criteria for 100% Secured Rental and Below-Market Housing as an Alternative to Inclusionary Social Housing in the Burrard Corridor of the West End Community Plan.

The architect for the project is BOP Architects.
