Assume this is a dead project, doesn't seem it ever went for rezoning or DP. 2020

As shown, that would be a DP (no rezoning necessary), but nothing has been submitted. It look to be expensive to develop, as it's an inefficient site (triangular) and requires a vehicle elevator for the parking. There are probably too many less expensive projects nearby for that to be feasible for now.

Building Grades was in 2015 so probably earlier than 2020. Seems like it's connected to Portliving and was on the market at some point after 2017.

The two also worked together on another weird project in Railtown - 711 Alexander and some Main Street condo projects

Old London Drugs on East Hastings near Nanaimo seemed like they were down to grade and ready to do excavation.

Does anyone live near or travel by the former Alpine Club site at the NW corner of Victoria and 33rd? Has a development proceeded there? I never get around that part of the city since it shut down.

Alphen.. They just got permission in March to demolish it.

The open air parkade on East 3rd all the way to the corner of Quebec. Gensler/Atelier Capital Partners

The City of Vancouver has received an application to rezone the subject site from I-1 (Industrial) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is to allow for the development of an 8-storey mixed-use building with a rooftop amenity and includes:

A floor area of 14,467 sq. m (155,716 sq. ft.);
Commercial space (ground floor) 385 sq. m (4,145 sq. ft.);
Industrial spaces (floors 1-4) 6,802 sq. m (73,220 sq. ft.);
Office spaces (floors 5-8) 6,261 sq. m (67,388 sq. ft.);
A floor space ratio (FSR) of 6.0;
A building height of 46 m (151 ft.) with additional height for rooftop amenity space; and
137 underground vehicle parking spaces, 7 loading bays and 76 bicycle parking spaces.

There's some 9 story office tower in the booklet that says confidential. Sort of looks like the new Vancouver Art Gallery. Hopefully that's in Vancouver

Atelier Capital Partners's Canadian projects

They have some Project Phoenix image which seems like it was an older version of this project.

Seems like they recently picked up the 43 lot.

137 underground parking spots seems excessive. Either way good to see yet more happening in this area.

The parking lot was only created in 2017 after the Metal Works that was there burned down. The other part of the site is the home of Ootmar Automotive.

The big lab building in the brochure is very unlikely to be in Vancouver - it's more space than in both the two new AbCellera buildings that are under construction in Mount Pleasant, and those are easily the biggest lab buildings the city has seen.

How many workers would that kind of life sciences type building house? It's under the required number of spaces which is like 180.

Thanks for the info. I was hoping the project would be closer to completion, as I believe there was a suggestion that the Alpen Club would reopen in the same location.

Anything out there about what Coromandel paid for it?

Someone bought it for $12.5 million in 2014

https://www.biv.com/news/real-estate...rt-hig-8239317

I'm guessing 30-40 million around 2018?

The Province has picked up a Coromandel site at Nanaimo Station consisting of 11 SFH lots for $22.5M. That's only $105 / sqft buildable at 5 FSR.

Frick no way! That's HUGE news. Thanks for posting this.

This is a very interesting part of town with a few of unique sites and assemblies already in place. Some strong arterials and transit routes alongside SkyTrain. Good park access. Good bones to build off the adjacent Commercial Street's urbanism success.

MC-1 Zoning is the future.

logan5 · #**399** Posted **Mar 28, 2024, 6:26 PM**

Yes, let’s spread the wealth. Build social housing around all Skytrain stations and de-centralize concentrated areas like Mt. Pleasant, where there is a lot of social housing, and especially the dtes.
