Quote: Rezoning Application - 320 Granville Street

VIA Architecture has applied to the City of Vancouver to rezone 320 Granville Street from DD (Downtown) District to CD-1 (Comprehensive Development) District. The proposal is for a 32-storey office building, with retail and a bike station at grade, and a childcare on the top floor. The development would be comprised of approximately 35 303 m² (380,000 sq. ft.) of floor area, with a floor space ratio (FSR) of 25.5, and a height of 119 m (390 ft.).

My 2 cents, I'm happy to see this one moving forward. I'm still a touch doubtful as to wether it will make this round of towers but I'm more then willing to be proven wrong. As most of you know I seldom complain about design, this is one building that in it's current state lets me down. I certainly don't expect anything special, but I was hoping for slightly more. Anyways enjoy, discuss, critic. An offical application has been made, so here are the details.I the bolded the very large FSR. Not sure if it's a new Vancouver record or not, but it's certainly up there.RenderingCity Planning ContextSite ContextConcept Model ViewsView Impact AnalysisView Cone AnalysisShadow DiagramsProject Stats and Context AerialParking PlansFloor PlansBuilding Elevation DrawingsBuilding Section DrawingsMy 2 cents, I'm happy to see this one moving forward.
