Third Space Properties has submitted a development application for a site at 10th & Discovery in the Point Grey Village area of Vancouver. The plan for the site includes a new 6-storey rental building with:

• 69 market rental units;
• 6,200 SF of retail space;
• a density of 3.50 FSR;
• a building height of 72 ft.;
• Two levels of underground parking with access off 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.

From a media release: “Residents will have access to shared indoor and outdoor amenities, including a versatile lounge and coworking area designed to provide space for gathering, studying, and working. The building design seeks to fit into the existing village scale, while serving as a gateway to Point Grey Village. Streetscapes along both 10th Avenue and Discovery Street have been carefully planned, featuring active retail and residential frontages, alongside generous setbacks to encourage comfortable movement, adding to the vibrancy of one of Vancouver’s oldest village centres, Point Grey.”
