The plan for this site at Broadway and Balaclava includes 78 market rental units under the Rental 100 program. Currently on the site is a two-storey building with commercial uses at grade and two residential rental suites on the second floor. The rezoning was originally filed back in April 2015.
This rezoning application was brought forward in March 2015 by Pennyfarthing Homes. The plan for the 22,166 SF site at Cambie and 26th Ave calls for a 6-storey condo building with 56 units. The site is directly across the street from Parc 26, a similar development now in pre-sales. 68% of the units will be 2 or 3 bedroom units.
The plan for this Norquay Village rezoning is a 28-unit, 4-storey apartment building under the Rental 100 program. The site is currently zoned RS-1, but was redesignated in the Norquay Village area plan for apartments.
This is a rezoning amendment for a sitea at 1st and Ontario Street in the Olympic Village area owned by Pinnacle International and originally rezoned in 2006. The new plan calls for an 18-storey condo tower with 137-units and a density of 6.98 FSR.
Concord Pacific has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop their 57,365 SF site, which is comprised of a full city block at West 1st Ave and Columbia Street. The site is one of the larger remaining undeveloped parcels in the SEFC area and was originally proposed by Concord back in 2012; having been rezoned previously in 2008. It will include 247 condo units. The architect for the project is GBL.
