Heritage preservation a part of new rental housing building proposed for Hastings-Sunrise
The Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood in East Vancouver could see a unique redevelopment that incorporates the heritage facade of an existing building currently located on the proposed development site.
A rezoning application has been submitted by Studio One Architecture to turn the site at 2601-2619 East Hastings Street – the northeast corner of the intersection of East Hastings Street and Penticton Street, across the street from London Drugs redevelopment – into a mixed-used, six-storey building. It will have a height of 71 ft.
Existing condition
Future condition
There will be about 6,300-sq-ft of retail and restaurant space on the ground level and 47 secured market rental residential units within the upper levels. A total of 42 parking stalls are planned underground.
The 12,000-sq-ft site is currently occupied a one-storey retail building with Spanish-style architecture constructed in 1928.
The redevelopment proposes to retain a portion of the heritage facade, specifically the rear facade on Penticton Street next to the laneway with the current address of 360 Penticton Street.
Existing condition
Future condition
Altogether, the project will have a total floor area of 48,700 sq. ft., which gives the proposal a floor space ratio (FSR) of 3.75 times the size of its lot.
The City of Vancouver is considering this proposal under the Rental 100 Secured Market Rental Housing Policy.
