15-Unit Building Planned for Cambie & 32nd Ave
The Airey Group has submitted a rezoning application for a site at 618 West 32nd Avenue, at 32nd and Cambie. The plan for the 9,983 SF site is to rezone from RS-1 District to a CD-1 per the Cambie Corridor Plan. The proposal, entitled “Quarry” is for a 6-storey building that includes:
- 15 residential units;
- a building height of 71 ft.;
- a total density of 2.46 FSR;
- 25,367 gross buildable SF;
- 29 vehicle parking spaces and 20 bicycle spaces.
The application describes the project as follows:
“The subject site is a large single family lot currently under firm contract, which double fronts Cambie Street and West 32nd Avenue. The Cambie Street frontage of the site is 124.99 feet and West 32nd frontage is 79.88 feet yielding a surveyed area of 9,983 square feet. The site is located immediately to the north of the Elizabeth, an existing 5 storey development fronting Cambie Street. The site slopes from the southeast approximately 8’-3” to the northwest.
The upper two levels of the development step back 8 feet from the lower levels on both the Cambie and the majority of the 32nd Avenue façades. Large decks wrap the east, north and west faces of the 5th floor. The western wall of the 6th floor is further setback to respond to and provide a more gentle transition to the existing single family residential urban fabric of the neighbourhood. This step back allows for an expansive, west facing rooftop deck for the single residential unit of this level. Large sheltering overhangs are provided at both the roof level and the western edge of the sixth floor to extend the use of the rooftop decks on both the fifth and sixth levels.”
The architect for the project is Shift Architecture.
