Third Space has submitted a development application for the former gas station site at the Northeast corner of West 4th Avenue and Macdonald in Kits.

The 22,256 SF site is zoned C-2, which now allows 6-storey development for rental apartments.

The proposal includes:

• 99 market rental units;
  • 15 studios, 43 one-bedrooms, 41 two-bedrooms;
• 15,000 SF of retail space;
• A proposed density of 3.70 FSR;
• A proposed height of 71.7 ft.;
• Two levels of underground parking, providing a total of 107 parking spaces having vehicular access from the lane

Under the site’s existing C-2 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.

Reliance Properties and Quadreal have submitted their long-anticipated rezoning application for the former MEC site at 130 West Broadway. MEC moved into a new purpose built facility on West 2nd Avenue.

The site is owned by Quadreal and Reliance in a 50/50 partnership. Despite having acquired the site over five years ago and originally submitted a rezoning enquiry in 2017, the rezoning application was delayed as a result of the Broadway Plan process.

Located within the Broadway Shoulder Area (East) neighbourhood sub-area of the Broadway Plan, the project site encompasses a significant portion of the south side of the block between Columbia and Manitoba Streets, on West Broadway.

The rezoning proposal is to allow for a two-tower rental apartment complex that includes:

• two towers, 29 & 28-storeys in height;
• 524 secured market rental units;
• Commercial space at grade and on level 2;
• A 37-space child care facility;
• A total density of 8.46 FSR;
• significant rooftop amenity spaces;
• Building heights of 328 ft. (east tower) and 325 ft. (west tower); and
• 372 vehicle parking spaces and 1,151 bicycle parking spaces.

The application is being considered under the Broadway Plan.

The architects for the project are NMDA and Arcadis/IBI Group.
