32-Units Above Retail Planned for Alma & 10th Corner

A development application has been submitted by Landa Global for their site at the Southeast corner of West 10th and Alma Street. The 23,300 SF, C-2 zoned site is now vacant and was previously an Esso gas station before Landa bought the site in 2015 for $18 Million (or $313 per buildable SF).

The plan for the site is a 4-storey, mixed-use commercial and residential building that includes:

• 32 market residential units;
• A total density of 2.48 FSR;
• A building height of 57,762 SF;
• 7 retail units at grade;
• 80 underground parking on two levels accessed from the rear lane.

Under the site’s existing C-2 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 Rafii Architects.
