James KM Cheng Architects has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone this site from C-1 (Commercial) and RT-1 (Two-Family Dwelling) to a CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The purpose of the rezoning is to permit a mixed-use development comprising 446 residential units, 59 rental units, 14 "choice of use" units (residential or commercial), and 10,000 sq. ft. of retail/commercial space. The application proposes a 285-ft., 31-storey tower and a 235-ft., 24-storey tower. Both towers would be set above one-storey, two-storey, and four-storey, ground-oriented podium buildings containing live-work units and townhouses. Ground-level commercial use is located at the corner of Cambie Street and Marine Drive. The floor space ratio (FSR) proposed is 5.1 FSR for the southern portion, and 4.4 FSR for the northern portion.

The project has changed a bit since the original proposal, the tallest tower has lost 15ft. The shorter tower has increased 29ft and the project is now 2 Phases instead of going all ahead at once. Density and number of units have been cut back a bit. The units in these towers are pretty small.
The original proposal was as follows
