Mosaic Homes has submitted a rezoning application for a four-lot land assembly that they own at 4711-4787 Cambie Street in Vancouver.

The site is a full city block on the West side of Cambie Street between West 31st and West 32nd Avenues, across from Queen Elizabeth Park.

The proposal for the 37,000 SF site includes two 6-storey residential buildings with two single-storey amenity buildings at the lane. Details include:

• 114 condo units (57 units in each building);
• 8 studios, 46 one-bedrooms, 48 two-bedrooms & 12 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 2.66 FSR;
• A building height of 70 ft.; and
• 132 vehicle parking spaces and 249 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Cambie Corridor Plan.

The application describes the design: “The proposed vocabulary for this development is a Georgian-inspired contemporary architecture boasting dark brick material and elegantly proportioned window patterning for the lower floors and stepping back approximately eight feet on the two upper floors and using a less dominant light color to break the overall mass and create a transition to the future low-rise developments to the west.”

The architect for the project is Ciccozzi Architecture.

Coromandel Properties and Peterson Group have submitted two concurrent rezoning applications for sites in the Oakridge area. The rezonings contemplate two condo towers on Manson Street, and the required 30% social housing requirement to be placed on a nearby site at Ash Street and West 37th.

These applications represent the first transfer of social housing density between sites in the Cambie Corridor Plan. To date, no proposals have been made in the Oakridge Municipal Centre area with a blend of condo and social housing.

Manson Street Site

The proposal on Manson Street is for an assembly of 5 single family lots at 5392-5472 Manson St. The proposal is to allow for the development of two 18-storey condo buildings over four levels of underground parking. The proposal includes:

• 248 condo units;
  • 76 one-bedrooms, 146 two-bedrooms & 26 three-bedrooms;
• A total density of 5.6 FSR;
• A building height of 197 ft.; and
• 266 vehicle parking spaces and 567 bicycle parking spaces.

The architect for this project is IBI Group.

Ash Street Site

The proposal for the site at Ash and West 37th Avenue anticipates rezoning a 3-lot single family assembly to allow for the development of the social housing component to be transferred from the Manson site above. The rezoning at 5250-5270 Ash St and 595 W 37th Ave calls for a 6-storey building that includes:

• 77 social housing units;
• a total density of 2.97 FSR;
• A building height of 75 ft.; and
• 31 vehicle parking spaces and 162 bicycle parking spaces.

Westbank Corp. has submitted their formal rezoning application for a site at the Southwest corner of Main & 4th. This is one of the first rezoning applications to be put forward under the Broadway Plan.

The project, entitled ‘Prototype’ is envisioned as a case study of open-source mass timber construction and ‘Net Zero Lifecycle Carbon’. The concept was unveiled last year as a 21-storey tower and has since been refined, with an increased building height and fewer units.

The proposal is to allow for the development of a 25-storey mass-timber building on the southern portion of the site. The proposal includes:

• 210 total rental units;
• 168 market rental units;
• 42 below market rental units;
• 3,800 SF of retail space at grade;
• A total density of 6.22 FSR;
• A building height of 256 ft. with additional height for a rooftop amenity space;
• No vehicle parking spaces and 377 bicycle parking spaces;
• Mass timber construction; and
• Retention of the existing building on the northern portion of the site.

The application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

The architect for the project is Henriquez Partners.

The application describes a potential second phase on the North portion of the site that WeWork currently occupies:

“The overall site is proposed to be redeveloped in two phases, with the surface parking lot redeveloped as part of Phase 1 and the existing office building to be redeveloped as part of a future Phase 2. The Phase 1 redevelopment of the surface parking lot at the south portion of the site is the subject of this rezoning application.

We are proposing a hybrid mass timber rental housing tower with a density of 4.59 FSR for the residential tower, and a total of 6.22 FSR for Phase 1 (this rezoning application) including the existing M1 office building on the site. A future rezoning application for Phase 2 will include the demolition of the existing M1 building, to be replaced by a new retail podium and M6 tower, up to the maximum permitted 8.5 FSR.”
