Proponents will provide 2,722 sq ft of amenity space, including an indoor amenity space that opens up to a landscaped outdoor amenity space on the rooftop.
“The development is located in a mixed-use neighbourhood with commercial and residential space compiled of single family and multi-family buildings,” reads the design rationale.
“This represents a unique residential opportunity in Vancouver to provide and improve diverse affordable housing options and density from the proposed building… This increases density to support the City’s current residential needs.”

Within underground levels, 51 vehicle parking stalls and 76 bike parking spaces will be offered.
The total floor area is 30,564 sq ft, creating a floor space ratio density of 1.7 times the size of the 18,000 sq ft lot.
