It could be out with three single-family homes and in with a four-storey, 35-unit condo building if a rezoning application for 105-125 West 49th Ave. is ultimately approved.
Billard Architecture Inc. for the project envisioned for a site at West 49th and Manitoba Street, across from Langara College.
In its design rationale, the firm says the project called “Langara House” will “increase density in [the] neighbourhood with long term livability and community feel provided by age-friendly amenity spaces.”
The wood-frame building, which is being considered under the Cambie corridor plan, would produce one studio, 16 one-bedroom, 14 two-bedroom and four three-bedroom units.
It would also include 53 underground parking spaces, and 44 bicycle spaces. The proposed floor space ratio is 2.27.
The application notes the site’s proximity to YWCA – Langara Family Community Centre, Langara College, Langara Golf Course, the West 49th Avenue SkyTrain station and bus routes.
Billard at 486 West 26th Ave. (a 29-unit, six-storey condo building) and one at 5110 Cambie St. (a 12-unit, six-storey building.)
An open house about the plans for 105-125 West 49th Ave. runs from 5 to 7 p.m., Oct. 30, at the Peretz Centre.
