Redevelopment of Mount Pleasant’s I-1 Zone Continues with Latest Proposal

PC Urban  has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a site at the Northeast corner of West 5th and Alberta in Mount Pleasant for a new 4-storey commercial/light industrial building. The project includes

  • 23,590 SF of Wholesale uses on the first storey and mezzanine;
  • 47,325 SF of General Office uses on the second through fourth storeys; and
  • two levels of underground parking with 95 spaces
  • one Class A and two Class B loading spaces

This proposal continues a trend of mixed industrial and office buildings at higher densities in Mount Pleasant following zoning changes in 2014.
