17-Unit Townhouse Project Planned for Granville & 57th
Formwerks Architectural, on behalf of Marcon, has applied to redevelop a 3-lot land assembly on Granville Street for townhouse use. The 20,141 SF site is zoned RM-8N, one of the new zones in the Marpole Community Plan. The project, located between West 57th and West 58th Avenue, includes the following:
- two 2-storey and two 3-storey courtyard townhouse buildings
- a total of 17 units
- all 3-bedrooms ranging between 1,272 SF and 1,571 SF
- a total density of 1.12 FSR
- one level of underground parking containing 34 spaces
The application describes the massing of the project: “Courtyard townhomes are proposed with a 24’ courtyard. Massing is further stepped back at upper levels to allow more natural light into the courtyard. The proposed development also features underground parking with access off the rear lane. We are proposing a two storey with a partial third storey expression along Granville Street, and the third storey is more set back to suit a single-family expression.”
according to formwerks’s rationale, ‘the project features contemporary architecture’. i can’t see it.
otherwise, well laid out plan that fits 17 units on 3 single-family lots.
