5-Storey Office/Industrial Building Planned for Mt. Pleasant

Wesgroup Properties has applied to the City of Vancouver for permission to develop a 15,098 SF, I-1 zoned site at the Southwest corner of Manitoba Street and West 5th Avenue in Mount Pleasant.

Details of the proposal include:

• a 5-storey, mixed-use building with Wholesale use on the 1st and 2nd floor and office use on the 3rd, 4th and 5th floor,
• cast in place concrete walls;
• 13 foot floor-to-floor heights;
• a fully programmed, high quality rooftop with fitness and recreational amenities such as urban agriculture and multi-sport court;
• two levels of underground parking having vehicular access from the lane.

Under the site’s existing I-1 zoning, the application is “conditional” so it may be permitted; however, it requires the decision of the Director of Planning.

The architect for the project is Taylor Kurtz.
