36 new homes replacing single-family dwellings near King Edward Station
The development application to redevelop 4128 Ash Street (formerly 582-588 West King Edward Street) into a low-density, multi-family market residential project has been submitted to the City of Vancouver.
This comes more than a year-and-half after Vancouver City Council’s approval of the proposal’s rezoning application, with councillor Jean Swanson in opposition.

“The courtyard is a buffer between the apartments and the townhouses, providing green space and increased privacy between units and a physical and visual connection to Ash Street,” reads the application.
“Front entries, gardens and gates, and a variety of landscape treatments, animate the courtyard. The apartment lobby is oriented to the courtyard with generous roof overhang and glazing. The small contained ‘entrance courtyard’ located adjacent to the lobby provides a sunny area with low landscaped walls, bench seating and space for the residents to gather and interact with their neighbours.”

Residents also have access to indoor and outdoor amenity spaces on the top floor and rooftop of the apartment building.
There will be a single underground level with 39 vehicle parking stalls accessed from the laneway.
