The site is currently occupied by two 1950s-built, two-storey buildings with a combined total of 13 apartment units.
The proposal envisions a new 70-ft-tall, six-storey building with 36 secured market rental homes, including 23 studio- and one-bedroom units, nine two-bedroom units, and four three-bedroom units. Eight of these units will be townhomes on the main floor of the building.
If approved, the project would create a total floor area of just over 29,000 sq ft, establishing a floor area ratio density of a floor area that is 2.4 times larger than the size of the 12,089 sq ft lot. The redevelopment falls under the city’s Grandview-Woodland Community Plan.
A single underground level would accommodate 18 vehicle parking stalls and 68 secure bike parking spaces. The site is just one block away from bus stops serving frequent bus routes that reach downtown Vancouver.
